Jessica Ringrose
Jessica Ringrose is Professor of Sociology of Gender and Education at the UCL Institute of Education and co-chair of the International Gender and Education Association. Her research is concerned with using feminist posthumanisms and new materialisms as applied philosophy in real-world contexts, such as creating new forms of feminist digital sex(t) education and informing new policies and practices of public advertising with government and corporate stakeholders. Her newest books are Feminist Posthumanisms, New Materialisms and Education (Routledge, 2018 edited with Katie Warfield & Shiva Zarabadi); Digital Feminist Activism: Girls and Women Fight back against Rape Culture (Oxford University Press, 2019, authored with Kaitlynn Mendes & Jessalynn Keller).
