about me

Jasper Lauderdale is an adjunct professor of film, media, and screen studies at Brooklyn College, Hunter College, and Pace University, where he currently teaches courses on film history, feminist media, and cinematic bodies. Jasper completed his doctorate in cinema studies last year at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, and his research focuses on race, gender, sexuality, and temporality in radical speculative art, with particular emphasis on reparative hermeneutics, the supernatural body, the surreal, and the liberatory transformation of given materials.
