Beyond the Slayer: Erik Fuhrer on Buffy and Queer Resilience

Season 4 Episode 27 Erik Fuhrer is a queer, nonbinary poet, playwright and scarf tie aficionado whose fashion sense is part Buffy Summers, part Blanch Devereux, and part the lion from The Wizard of Oz. Their most recent book, Gellar Studies (Spuyten Duyvil, 2023) hailed as “exceptionally delectable and devastating” by Addie Tsai, creatively engages with the work of icon Sarah Michelle Gellar to unfold personal narratives of queer trauma. Keith and Erik talk about their inspirations, the writing process and reflect on their shared memories from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Disability Empowerment Now is produced by Pascal Albright
