Gender SEAMS Research Team

Overview

---

The Gender, Sexuality, Embodiment, Affect, Movement, and Space research team seeks to critically examine the ways in which bodies and environment are shaped by shared cultural experience. The research team has multiple projects in progress which are woven together by the common thread of examining gender from a critical, intersectional, feminist perspective. Our view of gender is pluralistic, non binary (i.e. multiple femininities, masculinities, and sexualities exist). You can learn more about our many open research and outreach projects by reading below. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our research, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Sharp at elizabeth.sharp@ttu.edu
