Since 1990 he has taught in the Photography Department of the University of Illinois at Chicago where he is presently Associate Professor. His multi-media installations have been exhibited internationally, in Sweden, Brazil, the UK and throughout the United States and Canada. Since 2007 he has been producing short videos around issues of cross-generational male intimacy and psychological/social loss. Recently, he has been re-exploring and exhibiting his documentary photographic work from the 1980s which focuses on Chicago’s historic Belmont Rocks gay beach and the San Francisco SM leather scene at the height of the AIDS crisis.
RM VAUGHAN is a Toronto-based writer and video artist. He is the author of eight books and a contributor to over 50 anthologies. His latest book, Troubled: A Memoir in Poems and Fragments, caused much controversy in 2008 and continues to stir up trouble.

He also writes a weekly celebrity interview column for The Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper. Please visit http://www.rmvaughan.ca/.
