Title of Research:

Gendering Representation, Representing Gender

Brief overview of research topic:

What does it mean to represent women? To represent gender? These are the questions that animate feminist work on representation. My research sits between feminist and representation theory: by bringing feminism’s insights to bear on political representation, I aim to provide an account of representation that acknowledges and incorporates the challenges of power and the subject to reimagine what it means to represent. My research explores how representation produces and reproduces structural injustice, how power flows through it, and how this shapes the subject.
