Emmanuel David serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, where his institutional research includes a 2021 study of the university's gender pay gap. His interdisciplinary work bridges transgender studies, Philippine sociocultural analysis, and disaster sociology through decolonial and intersectional frameworks. His research focuses on: Transgender and queer theory in Philippine contexts (e.g., "Transpinay" terminology, "bakla" identity, sonic dimensions of transness) Gendered impacts of disasters, particularly Hurricane Katrina's effects on New Orleans communities Class politics in Metro Manila and Philippine labor studies (e.g., call center industries) Visual culture and art as tools for social justice and political resistance David's publication trajectory (2017-2024) reveals a strategic deepening of transgender studies within Southeast Asian frameworks, moving from broader disaster and labor analyses to concentrated examinations of Philippine transgender communities. His methodology consistently combines ethnographic fieldwork with critical theory, emphasizing embodied experiences and spatial politics while challenging Western-centric academic paradigms. Notable contributions include provincializing transgender studies through archipelagic thinking and analyzing the commodification of trans visibility. While specific grant details and advising activities aren't documented in available sources, David's community-engaged scholarship—evident in studies of Manila pageant cultures and post-Katrina women's groups—demonstrates sustained commitment to grassroots movements and marginalized communities.
