معرفی
Joanne Wright is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of New Brunswick, specializing in early modern British political thought and contemporary feminist political theory. Her work bridges historical analysis with current gender politics.
She earned her PhD in Political Theory and Women and Politics from York University in 1999. Her research focuses on early modern women's political writing, particularly the works of Margaret Cavendish, Mary Astell, María de Zayas, and Brilliana Harley. Current projects include a book analyzing Cavendish's political thought on war and masculinity, comparing it to Thomas Hobbes and Virginia Woolf's feminist writings. She also examines contemporary issues like elective cosmetic surgery politics and choice feminism in neoliberal contexts.
Her scholarly output (2006-2014) reveals consistent engagement with feminist reinterpretations of canonical political thinkers and recovery of women's contributions to political discourse. Key themes include gendered analyses of war, domestic space, epistemic agency, and the intersection of private/public spheres in political thought.
