DrGilbert Caluya

Knowledge Areas
Generally speaking my expertise lies in feminist and queer theory, critical race and decolonial theory, as well as critical and cultural theory.

More specifically, my research focuses on the cultural politics of intimacy as it intersects with race, gender and sexuality, across multiple cultural sites, including: sexual subcultures, everyday cultures of security, surveillance cultures, digital and cultural citizenship.
