Stina Söderling is a feminist scholar originally from Sweden and currently based in north Texas, where she is an Assistant Professor of Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies at Texas Woman’s University. Her microbial research is based in the queer rural US South, where she has observantly participated in fermenting substances ranging from food to compost to shit. Stina is particularly interested in how human interactions with microbes shape temporality: slowing down, speeding up, or morphing time.
Stina teaches transdisciplinary research methods, feminist and queer theory, and university pedagogy.
When she is not working, Stina still loves hanging out with microbes, and has most recently, after many years of trying, fallen in love with kvass.
