Liedeke Plate is an Associate Professor of gender studies and literary and cultural studies at the Institute for Gender Studies, Radboud University Nijmegen. Her academic journey includes studies in English and comparative literature at Utrecht University (Netherlands), the University of Southampton (UK), and Indiana University (US), where she earned her PhD in 1995 with a dissertation titled Visions and Revisions: Female Authorship and the Act of Rewriting.

A current project explores literature as participatory culture, examining the social and material practices surrounding 'great books.'
