Ashley Fellow 2017: Dr. Stevi Jackson
This year the Ashley Fellow is being hosted by Lady Eaton College in conjunction with Sociology and Gender and Women's Studies.
Dr. Stevi Jackson is an academic and writer working in the field of gender and sexuality. Currently working at the Centre for Women’s Studies at the University of York in the UK, Prof. Jackson has retained her interest in sexuality throughout her career, but has also worked on broader aspects of feminist theory, on family relationships and on childhood. Her current interests include theorizing sexuality, especially heterosexuality; theories of self and subjectivity; modernity, gender and intimacy in Asia and Europe.
Professor Jackson recently released the book Gender and Sexuality which was co-authored with Professor Momin Rahman of Trent’s Sociology department. Along with this, she was the founding co-editor of the International Journal Feminist Theory.
Dr. Jackson will be at Trent in January and February of 2017. During her time here, she will be a guest lecturer in various courses and will give several public lectures.
