Rhea Ashley Hoskin

BIOGRAPHY

I am an interdisciplinary feminist sociologist. My work focuses on Critical Femininities, Femme Theory, and femmephobia. Specifically, I examine perceptions of femininity and sources of prejudice or violence rooted in the devaluation or regulation of femininity. I am a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow, an AMTD Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellow, and a former Ontario Women's Health Scholar. In 2019 I received the Governor General’s Gold Medal from Queen’s University. I am the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Femininities.
