Erin Nunoda

Erin Nunoda's primary areas of specialization are queer film and media history and theory, gender and sexuality studies, and Asian diasporic studies. In her research, she is interested in examining the queerness of encounters with media, using literatures on moving image form and spectatorship in order to challenge the grounding of “real intimacy” in contact, interpersonal exchange, and co-presence. Her writing has been published in Cultural Critique, Discourse, Feminist Media Histories, and Velvet Light Trap.
