Shannon Winnubst received her M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy from The Pennsylvania State University and her B.A. from The University of Notre Dame. Trained in the history of western philosophy, particularly 20th century French philosophy, she specializes in queer theory, race theory, feminist theory, and psychoanalysis. Her research interests focus on the intersections of race and sexuality, focusing particularly on normative frameworks of space, time, and pleasure. Her recent book,
Queering Freedom (Indiana: 2006), approached these questions particularly through frameworks of excess, scarcity, pleasure, utility, and fear. Her current work excavates race and sexuality in the intersecting concepts of animality, fetishism, and nationalism. In addition to publishing in journals such as
Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy and
Philosophy and Social Criticism, she also edited a recent anthology,
Reading Bataille Now (Indiana: 2006).
