About

I work on Restoration and eighteenth-century theatre and performance at the intersection of gender, religion and cultural change. I am currently prioritizing work with professional theatres to bring the R/18 archive to the stage because it gives us the deep history and genaologies of the concepts of gender, sex, sexuality, class, race, colonialism, and the relation of human to nonhuman in a global economy. I also work on critical university studies and shared governance issues within the academy. My departmental site is https://english.utk.edu/people/misty-anderson/
