Clare Hemmings is Professor of Feminist Theory at the LSE Gender Institute, where she has worked for 15 years. Her primary interests are in transnational feminist and sexuality studies, and she is particularly interested in how stories about gender and sexuality become popular, how they are institutionalised, how they move across time and space (or don′t move), and how we are affected by them. She is the author of Bisexual Spaces (2002), Why Stories Matter (2011), and articles on feminist theory and politics, affect, and femininity. Her current research is in two related areas: the contemporary life of Emma Goldman, and the affective life of gender. She is a collective editor of Feminist Review journal, and co-editor of the book series Thinking Gender in Transnational Times.
