I’m a UK-based scholar, writer and teacher working in the area of gender, with particular expertise on feminist politics and sexual violence. I’m Professor of Political Sociology and Associate Head of Social Sciences, Politics, IR and Religion at York St John University. I’m also honorary Professor in the Centre for Women’s Studies at the University of York.

My latest book is called Me, Not You: the trouble with mainstream feminism and is published by Manchester University Press. My forthcoming book is called Sexual Violence in Racial Capitalism, and is also with Manchester University Press.

I share my publications, works-in-progress, non-academic writing, details of events, and recordings of interviews and talks on this website – visit the updates page to see the latest and visit the research page to view my archive. I also have a collection of resources for fellow academics, students, and activists.
