Beyond the Lecture: P. Carl

Beyond the Lecture

P. Carl is a dramaturg, nonfiction writer, theater producer, and Distinguished Artist in Residence at Emerson College. As a Holtzbrinck Fellow at the American Academy in fall 2018, he’s is working on a memoir about gender transition, entitled Becoming a White Man, to be published by Simon & Schuster. The American Academy’s Tina Reis sat down with Carl to talk about his memoir, recent political and social debates surrounding masculinity and trans inclusion, and how the democratization of criticism is good for the arts.
