ANNA L. WEISSMAN, PHD

Bienvenue!      Witam!      Welcome!

ABOUT ME

I am a scholar of political science and gender/sexuality studies whose work explores how nation-states shape norms around reproduction, sexuality, and belonging. My research sits at the intersection of comparative politics, international relations, and feminist theory, with a focus on reproductive governance, LGBTQ+ rights, and the politics of national identity.

I hold a PhD in Political Science from the University of Florida, where my teaching and research emphasized global health, nationalism, and the regulation of family and kinship structures. My published work includes Troubling Motherhood: Interrogations of Maternity in Global Politics (Oxford University Press, 2020), as well as contributions to the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Security, GLBT Family Studies, and The International Feminist Journal of Politics.

My interdisciplinary training in political science, anthropology, gender studies, and history informs a broad intellectual approach to questions of power, exclusion, and identity.
