Sam Bolton

Sam is a bookish dyke preoccupied with the ways by which trans and fat bodies are foreclosed access to the fields of desire and intelligibility. Her work arises out of the intersections of queer theory, fat theory, and psychanalysis, the synthesis of which she believes can orient us towards a resignfication of these bodies so historically regulated, oppressed, and subjugated.

She is currently completing her BA in Liberal Arts wherein her dissertation is directed towards finding a shared discursive matter between trans and fat bodies for the purpose of granting lucidity to the common mechanisms that act upon these bodies, permitting us to speak of them in the same breath.

In her free time, she can be found writing zines and short stories, and, too, playing saxophone.
