Mary L. Gray, Assistant Professor of Communication and Culture and an affiliate faculty member of American Studies and the Gender Studies Department at Indiana University, uses her interdisciplinary background in anthropology and critical media studies to examine the production, representation, and performance of modern sexualities and genders. She is the author of In Your Face: Stories from the Lives of Queer Youth. Gray's current book project, Out in the Country: Youth, Media, and the Queering of Rural America explores how rural young people negotiate the politics of gay visibility and a queer sense of self in the rural public sphere.
