The cover to the new (3rd) edition of Nicholas Mirzoeff’s Introduction to Visual Culture is absolutely fire. 🔥 It’s out with Routledge in the spring.

Writing an #introduction post feels a bit strange! It's been a long while since I've tried to set up a new social media presence.

I'm a PhD student writing a dissertation about #lesbian visibility in 20th c. U.S. media, especially the lesbian chic moment in the early 1990s. I like learning and talking about #LGBTQ histories and the pitfalls of visibility politics and attempts at collaboration with capitalist modes of representation. My official area of study is #VisualStudies, but #Art, #History, #MediaStudies, #queer theory, and #feminist theory are all part of what I'm working on. I teach #ArtHistory at a couple SUNY campuses, mostly to studio art students and STEM majors who would rather be doing their own work. I try to teach them the interesting stuff.

I'm not sure what I'll be using this account for, but I like to think that it can be a place to talk about the research I'm doing and the interesting things I've found. The screenshot below, for instance, is one of my favorite things I've come across in my dissertation work: a blurb from a 1929 issue Variety, celebrating that a lesbian novel was on display in the window of a Christian-sponsored book store. Who'd have thought, right?
