Jennifer Tyburczy

Associate Professor/Graduate Director
Feminist Studies

Jennifer Tyburczy is a scholar and practitioner of queer performance with an emphasis in queer of color critique, museums and cultures of display, histories and practices of censorship, erotic archives and artifacts, sexual economies, visual and performance art and queer and trans studies in the Americas. Her first book, Sex Museums: The Politics and Performance of Display (University of Chicago Press, 2016) won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Book in LGBTQ Studies. Her second book, Queer Traffic: Sex, Panic, Free Trade (Duke University Press, 2025) traces flows of sex, art, and culture through the shaping of trade law under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and centralizes collective forms of dissident living as non-NAFTA forms of trade.
