Professor of Feminist Theory

Research summary > [Click to expand]

My main research contribution is in the field of transnational gender and sexuality studies. I have recently completed a book, provisionally entitled 'Telling Feminist Stories', which examines the discursive range and formation of the stories western feminist theorists tell about the recent past, and links these to broader intellectual and political debates concerning social theory and global gender discourse.

I have also been working on the institutionalisation of Gender Studies nationally and internationally for some years: developing curricula and sources, building representation and providing advice. This role has attracted EU Lifelong Learning funding.

Since the publication of my first book, Bisexual Spaces (2002), I have focused on the significance of sexuality in relation to globalisation: in particular, its circulation as a globally resonant concept, and the impact that this has on particular bodies, communities, and practices.
