Spring Updates

The COVID-19 pandemic has cancelled many upcoming conferences, in-person teaching, research travel, and research with human subjects, putting many of us on pause and delivering course content through cumbersome and disadvantageous online tools.  While most of these cancellations have been stressful and career-disrupting, I’m happy for the slow down. Many of us in academia are overworked, underpaid, and on precarious contract-to-contract work like myself. Finding time to read and write while also fulfilling obligations of part-time teaching and research contracts often leads me to put my own work on hold. In the coming months I’ll be refocusing on my own writing, returning to pieces that have been percolating for years that never got the undivided attention they needed to finally be published. I’ll wrap up teaching the foundational research methods course for the Interdisciplinary Studies in Sexuality program at Concordia through online teaching tools, but then it’s back to writing more or less full-time.

I am also putting some of my newfound time and energy into editing footage I shot in January for a short experimental video on sero-discordant relationships.

While most tropes about these types of relationships revolve around a young naive HIV-negative risk-taker and an older wiser HIV-positive teacher, I’m interested in the reverse relationship that mirrors my own experience (younger and poz with older and neg). My collaborator and I are trying to think through the difference in meaning the two of us attach to HIV in our lives, how it impacts our relationship, and how HIV feels along uncommon generational lines.

My manuscript proposal for the Queer Film Classic series edited by Tom Waugh and Matthew Hays on Lizzie Borden’s groundbreaking sex worker film Working Girls (1986) was accepted and will be forthcoming in 2022. I am very excited to be writing about one of my favourite films of all time and to bring greater attention to this brilliant feminist indie film. Much ink has been spilled on Borden’s first feminist dystopian sci-fi film Born in Flames (1983), while less attention has focused on her second feature film. My small monograph will fill that gap in sustained scholarly attention.
