Kirsten Pullen Kirsten Pullen holds a B.A. in Theatre from Grinnell College (1990), and an MA in Theatre (1995) and a PhD in Theatre with a minor in Communication Arts (2001) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining the faculty at Texas A&M, she was on the faculty at the University of Calgary in the Department of English and the Graduate Program in Performance Studies. Her book, Actresses and Whores: On Stage and In Society was published in 2003 by Cambridge University Press.

Her current research continues her work on actresses, focusing on spectacular female performers and the naturalist paradigm during the Hollywood studio era. She’s also written extensively on internet fandom, and has begun exploring how the internet impacts theatre audiences. Dr. Pullen teaches classes performance theory, theatre history, intercultural performance, and site-specific performance. E-mail: kpullen@tamu.edu |
