Research Interest
Prof Francis' main research interest is in fat studies, and specifically in the intersections between fat, gender and queer theory. Their published work has critiqued constructions of fatness as anti-social (as linked with degeneration, devolution, sterility and death) in the discourses of the 'obesity epidemic'. Current research addresses the queer ambiguities of fat and transgender bodies. Francis' other research interests include the politics of feminist and queer DIY cultural production and activism.
