Dr. Sydney Lewis is a lecturer in The Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Lewis’s areas of interest include gender performance and performativity, Black feminist theory and culture, Black queer theory, “mad” studies and disability justice, and intersectional Black liberation. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Lewis’s research and teaching strives to blur the boundaries between the academy, art, and activism. When Lewis isn’t teaching, she’s watching bad television, curled up with her cats, or thrift shopping.
