Biography
Krista Lynes (they/them) is Professor of Communication Studies and Director of the Feminist Media Studio at Concordia University. They are the author of Prismatic Media, Transnational Circuits: Feminism in a Globalized Present and co-editor of the Open Access anthology Moving Images: Mediating Migration as Crisis. Their current research project, Greenhouse Effects: The Mediation of Life and the Migration of Labor, seeks to explore how greenhouses have been a central infrastructure for the racialized, classed, and gendered global movement of humans, plants, animals, knowledge, and culture over the last several centuries and today. They also lead a SSHRC-funded project entitled Necessary Feminisms, which takes as its object the entwined forces of displacement, exacerbated by the crises that shape our moment, and seeks to mobilize politically-engaged research-creation to engage publics and imagine new forms of refuge.
