Brief description: Tof Eklund is a Lecturer in Language and Culture at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. An aneurotypical nonbinary parent, and an occasional game designer and zine comics creator, their research interests lie at the intersection of the theoretical, the subcultural, the digital, the creative, and the queer, and their passion is for how people find and create meaning, for good and ill.
