His work focuses largely on feminism and queer and transgender identities in popular culture. Since 2017, Halberstam has been a professor in the department of English and Comparative Literature and the Institute for Research on Women, Gender, and Sexuality at <a href="/wiki/Columbia_University" title="Columbia University">Columbia University</a>. Previously, he worked as both director and professor at The Center for Feminist Research at <a href="/wiki/University_of_Southern_California" title="University of Southern California">University of Southern California</a> (USC).<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Halberstam was the associate professor in the Department of Literature at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_California,_San_Diego" title="University of California, San Diego">University of California at San Diego</a> before working at USC. </p><p>Halberstam lectures in the United States and internationally on queer failure, sex and media, subcultures, visual culture, gender variance, popular film and animation.

In addition, he points out the ways in which female masculinities have been pathologized. In the first full length study of its kind, Halberstam traces the presence of female masculinities throughout history, offering it as a viable and ancient option. The text argues for a more nuanced understanding of gender categories, using examples such as “the bathroom problem” to point out every-day ways in which nonbinary people are excluded. The book was nominated for the Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Studies in 1998 and awarded the Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian Nonfiction in 1999. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life,_education_and_gender_identity"><span id="Early_life.2C_education_and_gender_identity"></span>Early life, education and gender identity</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jack_Halberstam&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life, education and gender identity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Halberstam is one of six children. <a href="/wiki/Assigned_female_at_birth" class="mw-redirect" title="Assigned female at birth">Assigned female at birth</a>, Jack was born Judith Halberstam to father, Heini Halberstam, and mother, Heather Peacock.

The text first suggests that masculinity is a construction that promotes particular brands of male-ness while at the same time subordinating "alternative masculinities." The project specifically focuses on the ways female masculinity has been traditionally ignored in academia and society at large. To illustrate a cultural mechanism of subordinating alternative masculinities, Halberstam brings up <a href="/wiki/James_Bond" title="James Bond">James Bond</a> and <i><a href="/wiki/GoldenEye" title="GoldenEye">GoldenEye</a></i> as an example, noting that gender performance in this film is far from what is traditional: <a href="/wiki/M_(James_Bond)" title="M (James Bond)">M</a> is the character who "most convincingly performs masculinity," Bond can only perform masculinity through his suave clothing and gadgets, and <a href="/wiki/Q_(James_Bond)" title="Q (James Bond)">Q</a> can be read "as a perfect model of the interpenetration of queer and dominant regimes."

The ways in which Lady Gaga and all the subsequent craziness that comes with her resonates in popular culture suggest an evolving form of gender and sexuality. Gaga feminism does not seek to prescribe a particular version of the future, but presents options. It seeks to undo the category as a whole, rather than neatly round it out.
