Bi Women & Theology Syllabus
This is a syllabus I created as a final project for one of my doctoral courses. This guide explains the choices I made in the structure and content of the course design. It should be read in conjunction with the syllabus itself.
Scholarly Articles
Becoming Who We Are: Building Bi Women’s Community in Toronto. This piece began as a comprehensive exam essay for my doctorate. I have since revised and expanded it to what it is now - a reflective analysis of elements that have shaped Toronto's bi women's community as I know it.Making and Breaking Manhood: Masochistic
Masculinity in
The Passion Of The Christ and Fight Club. This article was published
in the Socialist Studies Bulletin 75 (Winter 2005): 25-28. Due
to an accident of timing, the copyright is mine.
The papers below were written during my doctoral course work at the University of Toronto. They bear all the usual defects of student writing. I share them primarily because there are still very few bisexual voices in theology.
Anyone is welcome to read them, share them with others, or cite sections of them in their own work (whether you're agreeing with me or not). If you do decide to quote me, please let me know by sending me an email. I welcome the chance to meet other scholars and learn about their work.
I also welcome reader responses to these papers. Although they were passed in to my professors for credit long ago, I continue to edit and revise them.
- Are You Seeing Anyone? A Genealogy
of Bisexual Visibility
This article traces a Foucauldian genealogy for bisexuality as a visible identity. - Why Aren't More Queers Buying Marxism?
I suggest five reasons that queer activists have avoided using Marxist analysis, and I discuss the effects such avoidance has had on queer theories. - Hard At Play: A Proposal for Sexual Ethics
I argue that sexual ethics as generally focussed on the five Ws of sex (who, what where why and when), but has assumed we will know the "How." I examine how metaphors for sex, such as work vs. play, can affect our approach to sexual ethics. - Anti-Judaism in Lesbian Christian Theology
I look at three major anti-Jewish tendencies in Christian theology: 1) contrasting Jesus with Judaism; 2) portraying the Jesus movement as a replacement of Judaism; and 3) using Jesus or the concept of Christ as universally applicable. - Bisexuality and the Seduction by the Uncertain
I look at the interplay among bisexual identity, queer theory, and ethics.
