Curriculum Vitae
Diana Cage is a scholar, writer, and playable-media designer working across feminist science and technology studies, critical computing, digital humanities, and queer and trans studies. Her research examines how algorithms, platforms, and AI systems govern emotion, public discourse, and experiences of intimacy. Her creative research includes videogames, bots, augmented-reality experiments, and speculative interfaces that use making as a method of critical inquiry. She is a Ph.D. candidate in Performance Studies and Science & Technology Studies at the University of California, Davis.
Before entering academia, Cage worked extensively in queer media, including serving as editor of the groundbreaking lesbian erotic magazine On Our Backs, as well as Velvetpark, and GO magazine. She hosted The Diana Cage Show on SiriusXM and appeared as a guest commentator across television and digital media. She is the author of multiple books on sex and relationships, including the Lambda Literary Award-winning The Lesbian Sex Bible and Mind-Blowing Sex.
Cage’s work in public media and queer cultural production continues to shape her scholarship on cultural memory and technological mediation.
