Research Interests

My dissertation thinks about genealogies of radical feminism as they moved from the 1970s into the 1980s and 1990s. I am interested in how contested theories about gender, sexuality, the family and childhood led some radical feminists to develop reactionary positions (against sex work, against transgender people, and against surrogacy) while also building unholy alliances with conservative politicians.
