Dr. Travis Alexander is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Old Dominion University's College of Arts & Letters. His research specializes in biopolitics and health humanities, examining relationships among health, race, sexuality, and government in post-WWII America through literary and film analysis.
Alexander's work employs psychoanalytic and deconstructive frameworks to analyze cultural representations of immunity, autoimmunity, and epidemic discourse. His book project, The Birth of Viropolitics, uses the HIV/AIDS epidemic as a case study to explore medicalized governance and cultural anxiety.
His publications appear in American Literature, Criticism, Discourse, and Public Culture. Research methodologies include textual analysis of works by Bret Easton Ellis, Sapphire, and Octavia Butler, alongside film studies of John Carpenter and The X-Files.
