Geva, Dorit

"My current research focuses on how gender, sexuality, class, and ‘race’ influence right-wing politics and the general shift to the right 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 broad and includes political ethnography, archival research, interviews, and comparative methods. I am also interested in theories of the state, masculinity, and citizenship, as well as the transformation of contemporary sovereignty."
