Jamiee Cook is a PhD candidate in the Department of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her work investigates writing by multi-ethnic queer women writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries with particular attention to how these texts navigate systems of interlocking oppressions and queer identity development. She is invested in intersectional feminist perspectives, critical race theories, and the histories and cultural production of diverse queer and trans communities. Her broad areas of research include 20th and 21st century multi-ethnic U.S. literature, literature of social movements, and LGBTQ+ literature. Jamiee works across genres, studying young adult and coming-of-age fiction, speculative fiction, realism, and life writing.
