Biography
Christine Quinan joined the Gender Studies staff at Utrecht University in 2014 after teaching at and earning a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Christine works at the intersection of postcolonial studies and critical trans theory and is currently at work on a project that investigates gender policing and surveillance in a post-9/11, postcolonial/neocolonial era and the effects this has on gender-ambiguous, gender-nonconforming and transgender bodies and lives. Christine has published on questions of violence during the French-Algerian War as well as the writings of feminist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir and the work of Algerian writer Assia Djebar. Christine’s teaching and research interests include postcolonial studies, sexuality studies, queer theory, 20th and 21st century literature and film, and feminist/queer pedagogy.
