Jenna Basiliere holds a BA in Women's Studies from Wells College (2006) and an MA in American Studies from the State University of New York at Buffalo (2008). Current research interests include: the inclusion and exclusion of the transgender body in feminist and queer theory, the role of the feminist 'sex wars' in shaping current discussions around sex and sexuality, popular culture treatments of GLBT bodies, drag king culture, and cinematic biography as a narrative of transgender identity. In the past I have taught courses in introductory women's/gender studies, cultural formations of sexuality, and feminist theory.
