Carla Rocavert’s research uses phenomenological, hermeneutic, and post-structuralist cultural theory to explore media production and consumption. She is specifically interested in the histories and contemporary practices of Australian and American stage and screen performance, transcultural discourses of intersectionality, ecocriticism, and intermediality. Her work on American reality television, the performing arts, neoliberalism, and creativity has appeared in publications including Critical Quarterly, Critical Stages/Scènes critiques, The International Journal of Critical Cultural Studies, and The Creativity Research Journal. She is currently working on articles about the history and hegemony of US television, and transcultural discussions of race and feminism in the work of American playwright Aleshea Harris.
