Personal profile

About

Dr. Denton is an assistant professor in the College of Education's Higher Education and Student Affairs programs. His research focuses on college student embodiment, which is how student bodies are regulated, policed, constrained, and constructed through cultural, societal, and institutional discourses, policies, and experiences. He specifically focuses on the impact of forces of able-bodiedness, illness/disease, HIV/AIDS, heteronormativity, and binary gender oppression in higher education. Dr. Denton's work uses critical and poststructural narrative and arts-based methods to examine common and distinct life experiences among HIV positive gay college men, trans collegians, and college students living with chronic illness.
