Bio

I am PhD student at Annenberg at UPenn. I am currently working on my dissertation, entitled: 'It's not about the sex': Non-monogamy and the communication of intimacy. This project explores how people use both discursive and material modes of communication to convey intimacy in non-monogamous sexual and romantic relationships. I draw from numerous sources, including interviews, ethnographic observation at lifestyle clubs, self-help texts, and media representations to better understand how some people are adopting non-monogamous lifestyles to reconcile sex, intimacy, and commitment in a cultural context that values both individual self-fulfillment and long-term romantic relationships.
