Joseph Gamble (PhD Michigan, English and Women's Studies) teaches courses on Shakespeare and early modern literature, modern drama, and contemporary LGBTQ+ literature and culture. In addition to articles on early modern sexuality and trans studies, he is the author of Sex Lives: Intimate Infrastructures in Early Modernity (University of Pennsylvania Press 2023) and co-editor, with Gillian Knoll (Western Kentucky University), of The Kinky Renaissance (forthcoming ACMRS Press). Dr. Gamble is currently at work on a second book project, Prefixial Genders, which examines how gender nonconforming people across the past five-hundred years have rendered their lives livable in part by restructuring the English language.
