Joseph is an interdisciplinary researcher working in cultural studies, queer studies, and critical disability studies. Their research—which is spurred by an investment in the critical potential of doubt—focuses on questions relating to agency. For example, their PhD thesis attended to various experiences of epilepsy in order to trace the fragility of agency and the enduring unpredictability that a diagnosis of epilepsy engenders. Beyond the epileptic encounter, their work turns to other realms of experience, such as grief, ecstasy, desire, fear, precarity, time, and memory. Alongside their research and writing, Joseph has a background in community arts-based practices and education. Before coming to the LSE, Joseph taught in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne which is situated on the lands of the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. They have also taught interdisciplinary units across the Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney, on Gadigal land.
