Or how we might be able maintain not only a commitment to, but an erotic sense of interest in our research, writing, and other creative acts? In this episode, Emilia sits down with Dr. Ela Przybylo, a “polydisciplinamorous” scholar who is exploring and expanding ideas of eros through her pursuit of feminist, queer, and sexuality studies alongside her work in asexuality studies and feminist open-access publication.
