Coleman Nye works at the intersection of feminist science and technology studies, graphic medicine, and performance studies. She co-authored (with Sherine Hamdy) , the debut graphic novel of the ethnoGRAPHIC series at University of Toronto Press which won the 2018 PROSE Award from the Association of American Publishers. She is currently completing a monograph Biological Property: Race, Gender, Genetics which mines the epistemological linkages between genetic understandings of relation and property-based models of inheritance. Nye’s work has been published in such journals as Social Text, TDR: The Drama Review, Women and Performance, Global Public Health, and ADA: A journal of gender, new media, and technology. In 2017, she edited a special issue of Performance Matters on “Science and Performance.”
