Queering Identities: LGBTQ+ Sexuality and Gender Identity, 1.02 (V) K. Mohrman, PhD

1.02 (V) K. Mohrman, PhD

My name is Katie Mohrman, and I use she, her, and hers pronouns. I am an Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Denver. I received my PhD in American Studies with a minor in Feminist and Critical Sexuality Studies from the University of Minnesota. My research brings gender and sexuality studies together with critical and comparative studies of race, ethnicity, and religion. More specifically, I'm interested in gender sexuality and race in the context of Mormonism, US imperialism, and popular and visual culture. I'm a white, non-disabled, middle-class, cisgender woman, who is a US citizen from an upper-class family that received a formal private education. I label my sexual and gender identity differently in different contexts, depending on concerns about safety and security. However, the label that I identify with the most, although I see all identity labels as imperfect and finite, is queer femme. Identifying as a queer femme helps me to highlight the contradictions and limits of sexual identity, and to communicate my interest in celebrating some aspects of femininity while expanding and challenging others. As a queer femme ciswoman, people often assume that I am straight or that because of my gender presentation, I am not authentically queer.
