Edit ProfileCareer
His artistic and academic work focuses on queer/transport issues, body image, racialized sexualities, gender, performance and black queer theory. Blogging = blac (k) ademic From 2003 to 2006, Ziegler maintained a popular black queer feminist blog, blac (k) ademic. The blog tackled topics such as gender and sexuality from a young black queer academic perspective, eventually becoming one of the top blogs in the feminist blogsphere.
Ziegler endured much controversy due to his radical stance that positioned the experiences of women of color as the locus of his feminist analysis.
