Biography
Victoria (Tia) Glista is a second-year PhD Student in English whose research in feminist studies and critical theory spans literary, cinematic, and artistic production in the 20th and 21st-century. Her proposed dissertation project on North American feminist writers, “Posing Alternatives: Bodily Comportment and the Feminist Imagination,” sees gesture, posture, orientation, and movement as occasions for thinking about non-normative ethics, politics, and sociality. Her areas of intellectual commitment include feminist theory, gender and sexuality studies, critical race theory, performance theory, ethics, aesthetics, and political theory, and she has also previously been trained in cinema studies and art history. She holds a SSHRC CGS-D.
