Erin Nunoda is a Lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow, appointed in 2024. She has held previous positions at the University of Toronto and Wilfrid Laurier University as a sessional instructor. Erin earned her PhD in Cinema Studies from the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on queer film theories, suggesting that queer frameworks can explore areas of 'undersexualization,' where subjects are socially and legally barred from normative sex and intimacy. She interrogates how gaps in representation can challenge traditional forms of eroticism and the role of film aesthetics in establishing viewer proximity to images. Erin's work critiques the conventional notion of cinema as a tool for immersion and reciprocity, arguing instead that the medium often functions through a spectatorial distance characterized by unrequited longing.
