Finley's current research tracks how queer cultural productions have been tied to commercial structures, and how such media exist in a complex relationship with economic and cultural systems of regulation. His work has been published in scholarly venues such as Film Criticism, and Finley has written for a general audience in The Advocate and Washington Blade. Reach him on Twitter: @FinleyFreibert.
