About
June Bumgardner (B.A., English, University of Florida) is a first-generation student with interests in literary practice and circulation, performance, media studies, digital humanities, and anything trans- (gender, lation, cultural, formative, etc.) often focusing on (de/post/anti)colonial imaginaries in Central and North America. Their work is often informed by their/her/his transgender identity, obsessive-compulsive experiences, and old-growth forests. They are interested in critical-creative projects that use literature and media historiographically and those that study historiographies of literature. Their specific focus has been in how narratives fixed in space and time (e.g., architectural units, land/cityscapes, or writing about space) can be critiqued with literary methods that reveal how space is mythologized and culturalized. Their recent research has focused on Colonial Spanish and Indigenous Nahua documentations of song and their translations.
Their bio writing skills often rely on lists. List of personal things s/he/they think you should know but are not already explicit:
- They love plants and have a passionate interest in critical plant studies.
- They appreciate your attention and time, always.
- They always appreciate emails if you wish to work together or just introduce yourself!
