Stevi Costa earned her PhD in English from the University of Washington in 2016. She specializes in 19th & 20th century American literature and culture through feminist and disability studies lenses. Her scholarly work articulates theories of embodiment across narratives of bodily difference in both the literary and performing arts, and combines disciplinary approaches from literary theory, cultural studies, and performance studies. A performer herself, Costa is interested in finding the intersections of theory, practice, and the material body on the stage and on the page. Her work on disability and popular culture has been published in Studies in Gothic Fiction, the European Journal of American Culture, and In Media Res. She writes for Deconstruct Collective, an online journal for intersectional performance critique, and currently teaches Cornish College of the Arts and UW Bothell.
She also works with nonprofits as a grant writer and consultant.
