Contact Dorit Geva

"My current research program interrogates how gender, sexuality, class, and race and racialization, shape rightwing politics, and the broad move rightwards in Europe. It encompasses the fields of gender and politics, comparative politics, historical sociology, social and political theory, and political sociology. My methodological expertise is of a wide range, including political ethnography, archival research, interviews, and comparative methods. I am also interested in theories of the state, masculinity and citizenship, and in transformations in contemporary sovereignty." (Dorit Geva)
