ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Moria Drake.
I’m an early-career researcher and media profressional working and studying at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ). Over the last few years I’ve dedicated myself to growing my understanding of Queer, Camp, and Feminist theories in order to set myself for Higher Degree Research at the university.
My current focus is my Master of Research (MRES) in which I’m investigating queer coding in science fiction over the years, utilising the utopic dream presented in the entire Star Trek franchise.

- I am a proud, queer, transgender woman working and living in the heart of Queensland’s bible belt.
