C. G. Branch (they/them/theirs) is a PhD student in American Studies at Boston University. Their interdisciplinary scholarship examines the politics of sensuality as it is mediated through digital and technological forms, tracing how networked embodiments become sites of cultural production, bodily governance, and affective contestation within the American empire.
As an instructor, C.G. teaches with a commitment to radical liberation and abolitionist practice. Their classrooms are collaborative spaces rooted in mutual accountability, care, and critical inquiry. Guided by the principles of student empowerment and collective learning, C.G. invites students to interrogate how knowledge is produced, circulated, and challenged—especially within institutions of power. Presently, they teach as a Teaching Fellow at Boston University in addition to their role as an ESOL teacher at Rosie’s Place, a women’s shelter in Boston.
