Hi, BlueSky, I’m Erin (they/them)! This account will focus on my work as an interdisciplinary professor in critical disability studies. My first book, The Sexual Politics of Empire, recently won a Lambda Literary Award. Now I’m writing a new book about disability accessibility and ethnography.
Frequent flyer: photo of Erin, a white genderqueer person with short brown hair and professor glasses, inside of an airport. I’m wearing a tag for people with hidden disabilities. Cover of The Sexual Politics of Empire with an announcement that it won a 2024 Lambda Literary Award. Photo of a white smiling family of three. From left to right: a tween girl in a yellow shirt, a grey curly haired lesbian with glasses, and a short brown haired person with clear glasses. Flowers fill he background. Photo of my cats curled up like a yin yang: a brownish Maincoon and a white flame point Siamese.
