Academic Papers
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.
I welcome 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.
