Laura Tscherry is a PhD Candidate in English literature at Indiana University. Their project "Architectures of the Queer Domestic: The Erotics of Shared Living Spaces" investigates alternative forms of relationality that emerge in communal domestic arrangements. Their work aims to reanimate the resonances between architectural theory and queer/trans theory to demonstrate that linking them together productively deforms conventional notions about both intimate life and the built environment. Their writing appears or is forthcoming in Woolf Miscellany, Modernism/modernity Print+, and The Guardian (UK). They are one of the co-authors of the MSA Advocacy Handbook.
