Leon J. Hilton is an assistant professor of theater and performance studies at Brown University. His current book project, forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press, examines how cultural attitudes towards neurological disability and difference have been represented, negotiated, and contested in performance across a range of genres—including theater, documentary film, and media and performance art—from the mid=twentieth century through the present. His research has been supported by a Creative Capital / Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant and by the Mellon Foundation, and work has been published in GLQ, African American Review, The Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies, and TDR/The Drama Review.
