Dr. E. Krebs is an Assistant Professor of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University. Their research explores the intersections of queer theory, disability justice, and critical suicide studies, with a focus on rethinking mental health through the lens of sociopolitical trauma and oppression. In their notable work, “Queering the Desire to Die: Access Intimacy as Worldmaking for Survival,” Dr. Krebs challenges the medicalization of suicide, reframing it as a queer desire and a response to systemic violence. They advocate for community-driven, anti-hierarchical approaches to care, emphasizing the role of queer relationality and access intimacy in mental health and survival.
