Reba Mitchell

Reba Mitchell is a gender studies scholar whose work centers the voice as a site of gender hegemony. Her current research is focused on audio romance and erotica, investigating the ways in which sensory immersion, performance of gender, and heterosexual romance narratives contribute to compulsory heterosexuality and render invisible the lived scope of gender. Her work is informed by her background as a classically trained vocalist and professional audiobook narrator. Mitchell holds a BA in Women and Gender Studies and an MA in English, and is an adjunct professor of women, gender, and sexuality studies at Rhode Island College.
