Technology · Performance · HCI

My work is rooted in feminist science and technology studies, queer theory, and performance. I write about sexuality, computational embodiment, and the erotics of digital systems. My current book project, Hormone Trouble, explores feminist art and science practices that generate alternative knowledges, challenge institutions, disrupt AI logics, and reveal the affective architectures behind how we design, touch, and survive machines.

I'm currently a PhD candidate in Performance Studies at UC Davis and a lecturer in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stanford, where I teach courses on feminist games, critical interface theory, and the politics of design. I also write and speak publicly about queerness, affect, technology, and cultural resistance. My work bridges scholarly research and accessible, embodied critique.

Before academia, I wrote books on sex, power, and queer relationships. I hosted a national satellite radio show. I edited legendary lesbian magazines. I helped shape a generation of sex-positive media which created the foundation for my scholarly work. I bring decades of experience translating intimate, complex realities into public language.
