David Reznik’s scholarship is at the nexus of contemporary social theory, intersectional identity politics, and 21st-century popular culture. His body of work includes a book about American Jewish racialization in US cinema as well as peer-reviewed articles on topics ranging from medical globalization to murder trials. More recent publications include his analysis of queer comradeship in the HBO series, We Are Who We Are and an essay on the gendered nature of public discourse about “transracialism.” Currently, he is working on a project to curate mass media artists like Chappell Roan and Jane Schoenbrun whose profoundly personal pleas for queer & trans social existence simultaneously represent pleas for societal survival amidst impending global catastrophe.
