Kristina Kangas has a range of work investigating how avian reproduction is timed and regulated. As an undergraduate she investigated synthesis of GnIH and its receptor at the level of the gonads. Her current work is elucidating a novel pathway involving a chemical synthesized only in darkness that is commonly associated with jet-lag and Seasonal Affective Disorder, melatonin. In the future, she hopes to investigate neuropeptides involved in the behavior and physiology of other avian life history stages, such as at the onset and termination of migration.

I have a dissertation and a becoming-manuscript on the concept of the phantasm and cinema. I am researching the unconscious and the apparatus of film. I would like to engage with other scholars who are involved in Critical Theory, Cinema, and Performance Studies.
