Biography: 

Dr. Nikola Stepi膰 is an FRQSC postdoctoral fellow at 海角精品黑料 in Montreal, Quebec. His research links queer film history and studies of the cinematic city, and focuses on the masturbator as a media figure that has demarcated the boundaries between public and private spheres. Nikola received his PhD in Humanities from Concordia University, where he was also named a Concordia Public Scholar. His research on the history of gay pornography in Quebec was awarded the Gerald Pratley Award from the Film Studies Association of Canada for its contribution to the understanding of Canadian and Qu茅bec cinema, while his paper on the filmic mediations of San Francisco in hardcore films by Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. received the inaugural Early Career Scholar Best Paper Award by the SCMS Adult Film History Special Interest Group. Nikola has published and presented widely on his interests in sexuality studies, porn studies, and queer cinema and material culture. His work can be read in Angelaki Journal of the Theoretical Humanities, The European Journal of American Studies, Porn Studies and other journals.
