Ricardo A. Bracho is a writer, editor and teacher who has worked in community and university, theater and video/film, politics and aesthetics for the past twenty-nine years. His focus has been on social justice, public health, and the arts with queer and trans youth of color, Latina/o/x high risk populations, queer men of color, and incarcerated men. He is currently compiling his selected plays for publication and working on Operation Space Maize, an intergalactic queer comedy and love story about Los Angeles and Galaxy 1-B.
Julia Havard is a non-binary white disabled femme who loves teaching, writing, dancing, and connecting with community. I create multi-disciplinary performance work, grounded in my background in dance. I also write across the fields of Performance Studies, Critical Disability Studies, and Queer Studies. My work as a (broken) whole aims to highlight the cultural labor of multiply marginalized performers and activists, to value queer and trans crip sexual culture as essential, and to move however slowly and imperfectly toward a more just world.
Perry Zurn is Visiting Associate Professor of Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Cornell University and Provost Associate Professor of Philosophy at American University. He researches primarily in political philosophy, critical theory, and lgbtq+ studies and collaborates in psychology and network neuroscience. He is especially interested in the politics of inquiry and voice, material histories of resistance, poetics, and ecologies.
