Dr. Andrew Joseph Pegoda (aka “AJP”)

Dr. Andrew Joseph Pegoda teaches women’s, gender, and sexuality studies; religious studies; and first year writing at the University of Houston and has expertise in pedagogy, women’s and queer studies, critical race theory, religious studies, film and cultural studies, history/historiography, and historical memory. 

Dr. Pegoda is actively committed to teaching and is also available as a consultant or expert reviewer, as a guest speaker, and as an opinion piece writer – current bylines include Cancerwise, Conditionally Accepted, The Conversation, The Daily Cougar, History News Network, Houston Chronicle, Inside HigherEd, Talking Points Memo, Time, and The Washington Post.

Finally, Dr. Pegoda is queer/gay, genderqueer, physically disabled, and a survivor of many tumors and six surgeries. These (and other) identities, in addition to experience as an educator and scholar and a global citizen, are used to further embrace and model diversity and acceptance.
