Mer om författaren

Emily Garside is a nerd for all things Queer History and Culture. Beginning with a PhD on theatrical responses of the AIDS pandemic, she got distracted by TV and accidentally wrote a book on Schitt’s Creek. She then turned a lifelong love of Doctor Who, and watching Queer as folk too young, into a book on Russell T Davies called Gay Aliens and Queer Folk (Calon). She now writes on all things Queer theatre, with a speciality in musicals of course, TV and cultural history. Her mantra is ‘know your history’ and seeks to educate Queer folks and allies alike on the hidden history of the LGBTQ+ community they might have missed.
