Biography

In addition to regularly teaching "Method, Evidence, Critique: Gender and Sexuality Studies across the Disciplines," the core course taken by all PhD students pursuing the graduate certificate in GNSS, Dr. Davis's recent and current courses include a sophomore seminar titled "Is This Working?" on the social politics of work,  "Agnotology: The Will to Ignorance" on what we don’t know, what we refuse to know, and what we can’t know, and "Introduction to Gender and Sexuality Studies.". Her current research explores the relation of popular theorizations of gender to psychoanalytic concepts of sexual difference.
