Biography / Academic Interests
:
Professor Brim is Assistant Professor of Queer Studies in the English department at the College of Staten Island, CUNY. Students in his courses can expect to explore complex narratives of sexuality, gender, race and ability. Recent courses include “What is Queer Fiction?,” “LGBT Literature,” “Rethinking Sexuality,” and “Bringing Sexy Back: Introduction to the Study of Literature.” Professor Brim encourages any student, faculty, or staff member who shares a commitment to increasing lgbtq representation and visibility on the CSI campus to contact him.
Professor Brim’s research focuses mostly on 20th- and 21st-century queer American literature and culture. His current book project, titled "James Baldwin and the Queer Imagination,” argues that Baldwin plays a central and complicated role in the “queer imagination,” a term used to characterize the overlapping creative energies and critical approaches that have given rise to the universalizing project of queer literary and theoretical inquiry.
