Marisa Tangeman is a PhD candidate in Sociology at the University of Cambridge. Her research investigates the role that popular culture and mainstream media discourses play in the construction of bisexual identity. She is broadly interested in how the enforcement of binary identity categories shapes the experiences of those who live outside them, and how popular media discourses reproduce relations of power. Marisa holds a BA in Sociology from Mills College, California, and a MSc in Media and Communications from LSE.
