Scholarship in Practice

Contact

Camille D. G. Mustachio (she/her) is an Assistant Professor of English whose work explores how storytelling and performance shape identity and build community. She specializes in Shakespeare’s intersections with early modern and contemporary popular culture, including Doctor Who, kaiju films, immersive theatre, and Bruce Springsteen.

Her forthcoming works include Inclusive Fantasy: The Praxis of Belonging in Teaching, Storytelling, and Gaming; Routledge Handbook of Doctor Who; and Wings for Wheels: Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run at 50.

Her publications include Giant Creatures in Our World: Essays on Kaiju and American Popular Culture (2017); and The Language of Doctor Who: From Shakespeare to Alien Tongues (2014). She’s currently building an immersive early modern theatre performance lab in Minecraft — because if Shakespeare had a console, he’d probably be in it too.
