About
Elizabeth Segran graduated from Columbia University in 2005 and immediately began graduate work in UC Berkeley's program in Women, Gender and Sexuality and the Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies. She was drawn to Berkeley because she wanted to study the ancient Tamil love poetry that had caught her attention as an undergraduate. In her time here, she has developed an interest in feminist literary criticism and historiography, transnational feminisms, queer theory and theories of sexuality.
She currently holds a fellowship from the Center for the Study of Sexual Cultures as well as a Harvey Fellowship from the Mustard Seed Foundation.
Over the next year, she will be writing her dissertation on constructions of gender and sexuality in the anthologies of classical Tamil poems written during the first three centuries CE. When she is not writing at a cafe, Elizabeth may be spotted backpacking around the globe, lingering at a farmer's market, napping or eating chocolate cake.
