Bryan is a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Performance Studies scholar interested in the queerness of temporality, the performativity of epistemology, and oral traditions. His research in Performance Studies addresses the in-between of the works of Michel Foucault and Jean Laplanche’s conceptions of decentering (with its intervention of (an)other/otherness) as it relates to time. In Bryan's research and method of analysis, he thinks alongside Black and Transgender Studies with a particular interest in VR Afrofuturism performances. Bryan maintains a full-time clinical practice and is a psychoanalytic candidate at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR), and is a PINC (Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California) community member.
