Erica Rand, appointed in Art and Visual Culture and in Women and Gender Studies, teaches courses on contemporary culture with particular attention to sexuality, race, and gender–and, within these areas, to queer and trans sexualities and genders.  She serves on the editorial boards of Radical Teacher, Criticism, and Salacious. Her writings include Barbie’s Queer Accessories (Duke, 1995) and The Ellis Island Snow Globe (Duke, 2005).  Red Nails Black Skates: Gender, Cash, and Pleasure On and Off the Ice, grounded in participant-observation work in recreational figure skating, will be published by Duke University Press in 2012.
