Nick Davis (Ph.D. Cornell University) teaches and writes in the areas of film, queer theory, feminist and gender studies, and American literature (including theater & drama). His current book project attempts to theorize a new model of contemporary queer cinema based on formal principles rather than identity politics, drawing heavily on Deleuzian philosophies of film and sexuality. He has recently published essays on John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus, Todd Haynes's Velvet Goldmine, Dorothy Arzner's The Wild Party, Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, Pixar's film The Incredibles, James Baldwin's Blues for Mister Charlie, and the performances as well as the political activism of Julie Christie and Vanessa Redgrave. He is also the author of the film reviews at www.NicksFlickPicks.com.
