Title: Liquid Ambits: The Queer Oceanic through Cinematic Submersion and Emergent Media Ecologies

Supervisor: Feng-Mei Heberer

My dissertation presents an analytical scaffolding with which to frame readings of queer and ecological cinema and other new emergent media artwork. Using elements of the oceanic—fluidity, submersion, buoyancy—to navigate toward transsensorial inquiry, my work also aims to reposition queerness into the realm of the natural.
