Baylee Woodley, PhD(c)

Baylee is a WordPress user, coach, and editor as well as a researcher, teacher, and communications enthusiast. They love working with people and helping their content go further. Baylee’s interest in media, design, and communications is connected to their love of visual culture and art history. Baylee has been an editorial assistant for the Oxford Art Journal at Oxford University Press. They also love working in accessible education. Baylee worked with the University 101 program for six years and for Widening Participation programmes in the UK. They are now the curator of the digital archive Queer Art History.

Baylee is currently finishing a PhD (all-but-defended) in History of Art at the University College London. Their MA is in Art History and Visual Studies from the University of Victoria. Throughout their BA, Baylee’s focus was on the epistemic use of twelfth-century diagrammatic images. Their MA examined representations of queer bodies in late medieval France alongside possibilities for remediation and queer self-definition using tools from the Digital Humanities. Their current research is focussed on late medieval and contemporary representations of queer femininities and the value of taking femininity as its own category in intersectional analyses. 

Baylee also runs a lot and is a performance artist who believes in building community and dancing as much as possible.
