Dr Paulo Pepe is a Lecturer in Humanities at UEA and his research interests bridge the shared concerns and histories of the Global South, with a particular focus on themes relating to identity, including gender, sex, and sexuality, race and ethnicity. His research is interdisciplinary by nature, bridging cultural studies, history of sexuality, queer theory, post-structuralism, media, performance, and visual arts, gender studies, and critical theory. The guiding research objective of his work is to examine how identities/bodies/ communities use different platforms (social, cultural, political, and technological, such as music, performance, and social media) to expand and challenge normative understandings of identity.
