Biography
Allison Ross researches transnational, feminist and LGBTQIA+ documentary, as well as avant garde cinema, through intersecting lenses of queer theory, phenomenology, narrative and documentary studies. Ross’ work has been published in Docalogue (August 2018), Media Fields (Spring 2019) and Spectator (Spring 2019) and presented at conferences, including SCMS 2015-2019 and Visible Evidence 2015-2023. Ross’ primary interest lies in exploring open-ended and reoriented viewing practices that challenge the ideological underpinnings of truth claims and the narratives which tend to be passively accepted as normative.
