Elizabeth McQueen (formerly Schiffler) is a Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Davis as part of the Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar, Thinking Food at the Intersections. Her research examines the contradictions, anxieties, and aesthetics of contemporary performances that utilize food, from transnational performance art to global entertainment venues. Reflecting the collaborative nature of theater, she works with policymakers, nonprofits, chefs, and artists to contextualize and critically engage with food. Her writing can be found in Global Performance Studies, Theater Journal, and elsewhere. She holds a doctorate in Theater and Performance Studies and a certificate in Food Studies from UCLA.
