Research

Focus of faculty research: Emphasizes critical, cultural, historical, philosophical, and theoretical approaches to studying contexts of power, knowledge, and desire that exert differential impacts on various bodies and groups. Research, teaching, and extracurricular community interventions attend to structures of power informing race, class, gender, sex, sexuality, ability, and other intersecting axes of social difference. Students and faculty examine the forms of persuasion, protest, silence, coming-to-voice, testimony, noise, and imagination to transform inequality.
