Joanna M. Stein is an Assistant Professor of English at CUNY Kingsborough and the author of “K.D. Lang’s Ingénue" for Bloomsbury’s 33 1/3 Series.

Joanna’s writing spans various genres and topics, including music, culture, LGBTQ+ issues, and satire. Her work has appeared in Norton's "Short Takes: Brief Encounters with Contemporary Nonfiction," BUST, LGBTQ Nation, The Brooklyn Rail, PopMatters, and the satirical Hard Times.

“The way that Stein listens to and writes about Ingénue immerses readers in an emotional place that may be as familiar and nostalgic as memory itself.”
