Jessica Ringrose is Professor of Sociology of Gender and Schooling on the University College London Institute of Schooling. I work at the intersections of Sociology of Schooling, crucial psychology, media research and gender and feminist research. I research younger individuals's digitised gender and sexual identities and possibilities of resistance to 'obligatory' heterosexual norms of femininity and masculinity. I also analysis teens' digital gender and sexual activisms and feminist activisms. Current research include initiatives on feminism at school, digital feminist activism, youth 'sexting', and gender and sexual diversity and equality initiatives in school. My work has explored and troubled ideas round women 'sexualization' and 'pornification' and critiqued psychological discourses of (cyber)bullying, gender and aggression in class. My analysis monograph e book: Postfeminist Schooling? Ladies and the sexual politics of schooling (2013, London, Routledge) explores how training is implicated in contemporary postfeminist panics over girlhood: women' 'success', 'meanness' and 'sexiness'. The e-book affords new tools for thinking about and researching girls' subjectivity, agency and 'resistances' to the aggressive heterosexual matrix. http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415557498/ My co-edited e-book, Deleuze and Analysis Methodologies (with Rebecca Coleman, Edinburgh University Press) is the primary assortment to convey together a range of international, interdisciplinary essays that discover how Deleuzian thinking is shaping empirical social sciences analysis (Edinburgh University Press).http://www.euppublishing.com/ebook/9780748644117 Methodologically and theoretically my analysis draws on feminist poststructural, psychosocial, posthuman, new materialism and affect theories to grasp subjectivity and social transformation. I've developed this line of pondering and analysis with my longstanding writing accomplice, Professor Emma Renold. Our recent edited e-book, Children, Sexuality and Sexualisation (Palsgrave, 2015, edited with Emma Renold and Danielle Egan) explores cutting edge analysis on children's sexuality especially foregrounding empirical analysis on this area.

The thesis drew upon Black Feminist intersectional and psychosocial persepctives to assist unpack the complexities and contradictions of racialized, classed, gendered and sexualized subjectivities.
