I am an artist, researcher, and educator based in Lubbock, Texas. I earned a PhD in Performance Studies and certificate in Film Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, where I made puppets, did design-oriented solo performance, researched Czech surrealist stop-motion in Prague, taught acting at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and wrote a dissertation on discourses of life in animation, dance film, and digital architecture. Before coming to Texas Tech University, I was assistant professor of arts theory/practice at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.

An artist committed to both live and media-based performance (indeed, in breaking down the distinctions between them), I have exhibited my work in galleries and performance spaces in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, India, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, and across Europe and the United States. Recently, I presented collaborative performance at the Prague Quadrennial (Czech Republic), performance art at the World Stage Design exhibition in Taipei (Taiwan) and at Co-Opt Research + Projects in Lubbock (Texas), performance documentation at the Sofia Underground International Festival of Performance Art (Bulgaria), video art at the Athens Festival of Queer Performance (Greece) and the Barcelona International Short Film and Video Festival (Spain), and experimental film at the Mimesis Documentary Festival (Colorado).

I am also a scholar who writes about media and the aesthetics of personhood in 19th-21st century contexts. I have given sustained attention to the gendering, racing, and aging of bodies in animated film and video as well as girlhood in fine art and popular media. I have additional expertise in nontraditional formats for academic scholarship and in discourses of interdisciplinarity in the arts-based humanities. My most recent book, Shakespeare and Nonhuman Intelligence, was published by Cambridge University Press in May of 2024. My first book, Girlhood and the Plastic Image, was published by Dartmouth College Press in June of 2014, while my second book, Young-Girls in Echoland: #Theorizing Tiqqun (co-authored with Andrea Jonsson), was published in 2021. A more detailed statement about my scholarly research is available on this page.
