Gender Studies welcomes two new members to our team: Lindsey Breitwieser , our first postdoctoral fellow, and Karen Graubart , a Notre Dame professor who will serve as our first Internal Scholar-in-Residence.

Dr. Breitwieser  earned her PhD in Gender Studies from Indiana University. Her areas of specialization include postcolonial feminist science and technology studies; disability studies; medical jurisprudence; new materialisms and posthumanisms; and reproductive politics. Lindsey's dissertation, funded by a Woodrow Wilson Foundation Fellowship, focuses on the legalities and bioethics of postmortem pregnancies. In addition to continuing that research while at Notre Dame, Lindsey will teach two classes for our program and assist the Reilly Center with its Medicine and the Liberal Arts program.

Dr. Graubart  is an Associate Professor in History, as well as an Affiliated Faculty member in Gender Studies and Africana Studies. Her areas of expertise include empires and colonialism, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, and legal issues. Karen’s plans for serving as our first Internal Scholar-in-Residence include co-teaching “The Making of the Atlantic World: Gender, Ethnicity, and Slavery” in the fall 2019 semester, as well as developing a new Gender Studies course during the spring 2020 semester. She will also be coordinating a guest visit with  Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom .

Share Your Story

Student Spotlight Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
