About Me

Hello! I’m Lillian McIntyre. 

 

I am currently a PhD student at Yale University in the East Asian Languages and Literatures Department researching Japanese video games. I am particularly interested in using queer theory to think through the representation and mediation of desire in digital contexts. 

 

I hold a BA in Japanese and a BFA in Painting, as well as an MA in Japanese Literature from the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa. I speak English and Japanese, as well as rudimentary Italian.

 

During my MA, I worked as a Graduate Assistant, and have served as the instructor of record for several undergraduate courses.
