“It’s Barbie and it’s Ken,” Unpacking Greta Gerwig’s Signature Style as a Feminist Film Auteur
Greta Gerwig catapulted to the center of popular culture in the summer of 2023 when Barbie grossed over $600 million in U.S. box office returns making it the highest grossing female-directed film in history. Gerwig’s career warrants scholarly attention because her films contain a specific signature style that position Gerwig as a feminist film auteur. Through an examination of Gerwig’s auteur portfolio, we find four key elements define Gerwig’s a…
The Cost of Winning the Pregnancy Lottery
In this essay, I narrate my experience with secondary infertility through autoethnography. Nearly three million women in the United States struggle with secondary infertility, defined as the inability to become pregnant and/or carry a child to term after the successful birth of a first child. Through a layered autoethnographic account, I illustrate the simultaneously embodied and disembodied experiences of my journey with secondary infertility ut…
Black Panther , queer erasure, and intersectional representation in popular culture
This essay interrogates queer erasure from the film Black Panther. The implications of queer erasure from one of the most recognizable and lucrative franchises in film history are particularly problematic as Black Panther envisions “a Pan-African past, present, and future” where queer bodies are both invisible and unwelcome. By continuing to relegate queer sexualities to spaces of Otherness in superhero films, the film reifies dominant discourses…

Representing Bisexuality on Television: The Case for Intersectional Hybrids
This article examines the representation of bisexual characters in scripted, U.S. prime-time network, dramatic narratives intended for emerging adult audiences. Representations of bisexuality have increased in the early part of the 21st century, but they follow a typical narrative pattern: women are more frequently represented as bisexual than men; they are generally non-White, and their sexuality is often located outside of traditional coming-ou…

The Modern(?) Korean Woman in Prime-Time: Analyzing the Representation of Sun on the Television Series Lost
This article investigates the representation of Sun, the most prominent non-white female character on ABC's Lost. Given the importance of Sun's character in terms of visibility for Korean women specifically (and Asian women generally) coupled with the fact that Lost under-represents women in general, her role provides a substantial case-study of gender within the science fiction genre. Through a narrative analysis of the first season, we demonstr…

Looking Toward the InterSEXions: Examining Bisexual and Transgender Identity Formation from a Dialectical Theoretical Perspective
This paper theorizes how bisexual and transgendered identities are socially constructed through relationships. Traditional models of sexual identity formation have concentrated on the development of gay and lesbian identities, but these models do not adequately explain identity formation for bisexual and transgendered individuals. Furthermore, these models tend to privilege psychological explanations of identity formation. Bisexual and transgende…
