9. Gender/Feminism

Arindam Dutta’s teaching and research routinely incorporate elements of feminist theory; he is particularly interested in the manner in which terminologies of “gender” and “sex” intersect with different modes of production, a facet elucidated in his chapter "Cyborg-Artisan" in The Bureaucracy of Beauty.  Caroline Jones's scholarship investigates the construction of sexuality in technological discourses of modernism, and the instabilities that technology affords. Kristel Smentek regularly engages with representations of femininity and masculinity in her teaching. She is particularly interested in gender ambiguity and androgyny in early modern and 18th- and 19th-centruy art.
