I am Krista Benson, a career advisor and quarterly faculty at Eastern Washington University. I have taught, assisted in teaching, and lectured on career readiness, career preparation, feminist spirituality, poststructural/queer theory, sexuality studies, feminist social movements, and feminist theory. I have worked in the non-profit and public service areas of eastern Washington on and off for the last ten years and currently juggle teaching, working as a career advisor, and finishing a thesis on communicative narratives among polyamorous people in the US. I will be entering the PhD program in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the Ohio State University in the fall of 2012 and will be working on research with LGBT2QQIA youth in gangs.
My current research interests are polyamory, queerness as applied to popular culture, experiences of queer youth, visual signification of tattooed bodies, and feminist subcultures.
