Kathy Liddle serves as an Associate Professor in the Teaching Stream at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), a campus of the University of Toronto. Her academic work is anchored in the Sociology of Culture and Sociology of Gender, with institutional affiliation to UTSC's academic structures as reflected in her faculty directory listing and campus designation.
Dr. Liddle's research program centers on feminist sociology, cultural sociology, and gender studies, with particular emphasis on feminist bookstores as critical cultural interaction spaces for lesbian communities. Her scholarship examines how these institutions function as sites of community building, resistance, and identity formation while navigating commercial and political pressures. Additional research trajectories include gender representation in the music industry, the sociology of sexuality in educational contexts, and interdisciplinary pedagogical approaches in higher education.
Her publication history from 2002-2019 reveals consistent thematic engagement with cultural institutions and social movements, particularly through analyses of feminist bookstores, gender dynamics in music production and consumption, and LGBTQ+ experiences in conservative environments. This interdisciplinary body of work bridges sociology, gender studies, and cultural studies, demonstrating methodological diversity across ethnographic, historical, and policy analysis frameworks.
