Brian Eugenio Herrera is Assistant Professor of Theater at Princeton University where his work, both academic and artistic, examines the history of gender, sexuality and race within and through U.S. popular performance. He is the author of "The Latina/o Theatre Commons 2013 National Convening: A Narrative Report" (HowlRound, 2015), and his book "Latin Numbers: Playing Latino in Twentieth-Century U.S. Popular Performance" (Michigan, 2015) was awarded the George Jean Nathan Prize for Dramatic Criticism. He is at work on two new book projects: "Starring Miss Virginia Calhoun," a narrative portrait of a deservedly obscure early 20th century actress/writer/producer, and "Casting - A History," a historical study of the material practices of casting in U.S. popular performance.
