Briefly, I am a late-bloomer. I earned my BA in Spanish (including a semester study abroad in Spain) as a non-traditional student, then earned my PhD in Composition-Rhetoric in my late 40s--which is when my journey in feminist rhetorics and feminist-vegan-christian-antiracist intersectionality began. Currently I am teaching composition, upper-division essay, and grammar at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where I have been for 24 years. I am this year wrapping up my role as Composition Coordinator for the Department of English and Modern Foreign Languages and returning to teaching a full load of courses. As a late bloomer, I bought my first house 1 year ago, and enjoy gardening. I am owned by a houseful of senior rescue cats. I have come to enjoy the reality that learning and growth are lifelong endeavors.

Tinamarie Ivey (PhD, ABD) is an interdisciplinary theatre scholar, artist, and educator whose work examines gender nonconformity, queer performance, and metamodern aesthetics through practice-as-research. Their scholarship centers on drag king culture, male impersonation, and what they theorize as embodied fabulism—the use of mythic, monstrous, and speculative personas to challenge normative constructions of gender and identity. Ivey is the co-founder of Sanctuary Stage, a socially engaged theatre company producing original, community-collaborative works that address environmental justice, migration, veteran experiences, and queer histories. Their research and creative work have been supported by state and national grants and appear in forthcoming and published volumes with Routledge, Bloomsbury, the University of Delaware Press, and Liber: A Feminist Review. They have taught theatre, film, and performance studies at multiple universities and are will complete her PhD in spring 2026 with a dissertation that combines archival research, ethnographic interviews, a prototype documentary, and live drag performance.
