Kiyingi Muddu is a PhD student in the Department of African Cultural Studies. His career and academic interests are in African theatre and cinema, literatures, queer, and postcolonial studies. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Drama and Film from Makerere University in Uganda, and a Master of Arts in African Studies from SOAS, University of London, and he has worked as an editor, a TV producer, and a teacher. His MA thesis explored the intersectionality of eschatology and disability and alternative therapeutical approaches to mental illness among his people, the Baganda of South- Central Uganda, with a close reference to Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s novel, Kintu. Kiyingi is a contributor to the African Theatre Magazine, The Theatre Times, and The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Stage Directors and Directing, and he is currently invested in the intermedial reading of literary and cinematic artefacts to examine how stories (and, ultimately, identities) are queered and unqueered in the trajectory of adaptation.
