Sarah Chant is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at The New School for Social Research. Their research focuses on humor in queer communities in the American South, and its affective presence in activism, archiving, performance, and everyday life. Through this work, she explores how humor, as a particular form of storytelling, can be an influential tool in uprooting narratives of the South as a predominantly heteronormative place. Among other fields, Sarah is interested in queer anthropology, affect theory, physics, and fiction.
