Bradley Lane researches contemporary feminist and queer visual cultures, as well as the cultural politics of American sexuality. At Indiana University, he regularly offers classes on the intersections of sexual politics and cultural production. This year, his courses include G205 (Photography, Film, and the Body); G205 (Sex Crimes and Punishment); and G205 (Feminist Sex Debates). He has essays forthcoming in Trans/Scripts: Queer Grads Reading Culture (Rowman and Littlefield, 2009) and Sexing the Look: Sexualized Imagery in Popular Visual Cultures (Cambridge Scholars Press, 2009) and has also served as a contributor to LGBTQ America Today. Previously, Bradley served as a Lecturer in Women's and Gender Studies at Vanderbilt University, where he taught courses on LGBT studies and queer theory. His dissertation project concerns the visual representation of sexual perversion, particularly through the figure of the sexual predator.
