Bio:

Theorist and artist, Dr. Eva Hayward currently teaches at the University of New Mexico. Trained in the History of Consciousness tradition (UCSC, 2008), her scholarship focuses on science studies and visual culture with an emphasis on psychoanalytic semiotics. Hayward is a Fulbright Scholar (University of Graz, Austria) with postdoctoral fellowships at Duke University and Uppsala University (Sweden). She has taught at the University of California, University of Cincinnati, University of Arizona, and Utrecht University (Netherlands). While also publishing in feminist science studies (such as the journals Cultural AnthropologydifferencesWomen’s StudiesQuarterlyTSQParallax, and Angelaki), Hayward’s most recent art writings on “trans as sexuality” have been published in Porn Studiese-FluxTexte Zur Kunst, as well as in museum catalogues, including the Whitney Museum (NY), the Institute for Contemporary Art (LA), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Sydney, AU), and the Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wein (Vienna, AT). Informed by these art writings, Hayward is finishing a book titled She Want that offers a theory of trans want, particularly the wanting of womanhood.
