Thomas Love works at the intersection of contemporary art history, German studies, gender and sexuality studies, and critical race theory. His current book project, titled Queer Exoticism: Strategies of Self-Othering in West Germany, analyzes artistic and subcultural practices in post-’60s West Germany to show how representations of racial and ethnic difference became essential to the definition of contemporary queer identity. He is currently a Preparing Future Faculty for Inclusive Excellence (PFFIE) postdoctoral fellow at the University of Missouri. He received his PhD in Art History from Northwestern University in March 2023. His research has been supported by grants from the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), the Fulbright Program, and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), as well as fellowships in the Paris Program in Critical Theory and the Whitney Independent Study Program. His work has been published in The Germanic Review, Texte zur Kunst, and Art in America as well as in publications from the Art Institute of Chicago and Intellect Books (forthcoming).
