Christopher Steil is currently pursuing a master’s degree in American history, culture, and society and a second master’s degree in film and media studies at LMU Munich. He obtained his BA in North American studies from LMU in 2023 with a minor in theater studies. His research interests include film and literary studies and queer history. He wrote his BA thesis on the censorship of homosexuality in 1950s film adaptations of literary works by Patricia Highsmith and Tennessee Williams. His MA thesis, on which he is currently working, analyzes the interrelationship between 1980s American politics and AIDS activism.
