Jason Edwards is Professor of Art History at the University of York. He is the author of Queer and Bookish: Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as Book Artist.

“Jason Edwards offers a sophisticated, meticulously researched, and deeply thoughtful picture of the warp and weft of textile as an organizing metaphor and a committed practice of artmaking for Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. Reparative Craft makes a surprising contribution to Sedgwick’s ideas and to the history of fiber, unfolding as a story of living, making, and thinking that reorients queer theory’s relationship to art.”—David J. Getsy, author of Queer Behavior: Scott Burton and Performance Art
