• Gender Studies
• Feminist Theory
• Sexual Violence
• +۴ مورد دیگر

Alison Phipps serves as Honorary Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of York, where her critical scholarship interrogates intersections of heteropatriarchy, racial capitalism, and gender-based violence. As a scholar-activist since 2006, she has fundamentally shaped national and international responses to campus sexual violence through research and movement-building. Her research dismantles mainstream feminism's complicity with oppressive systems, demonstrating how carceral approaches render marginalized communities disposable. Central to her work is the argument that sexual violence functions through four interconnected vectors—threats, acts, allegations, and punishment—within racial capitalist structures. Drawing extensively on Black and abolitionist feminist theory, she advocates for transformative alternatives beyond institutional discipline. Analysis of her 2017-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on neoliberal university cultures, white feminism's limitations, and practical interventions for institutional change. Her theoretical contributions span sociology, gender studies, and critical race theory, emphasizing how sexual violence operates within intersecting systems of power rather than as isolated incidents. Professor Phipps co-founded the Changing University Cultures collective in 2016, catalyzing campus-based projects across UK universities. She led the pan-European Universities Supporting Victims of Sexual Violence initiative, implementing disclosure training for over 1,000 staff across 21 institutions in six countries. These projects exemplify her commitment to translating critical theory into actionable frameworks for institutional transformation. Her current work culminates in the forthcoming monograph Personal Business: Sexual Violence in Racial Capitalism , which deepens her analysis of sexual violence's role within colonial and capitalist systems. While her honorary position indicates non-salaried affiliation, her sustained impact through books like Me, Not You (2020) and continuous scholarly output demonstrates significant academic leadership.

Michael McMurray, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Cell & Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. He holds graduate program affiliations with the Biomedical Sciences Program, Cell Biology Stem Cells and Development Program, Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), Molecular Biology Program, and Structural Biology Biochemistry and Biophysics Program. His research has significantly advanced our understanding of septin proteins and their role in cellular processes. Dr. McMurray earned his Ph.D. from the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in 2004. His research focuses on identifying molecular mechanisms underlying the assembly of macromolecular complexes, with particular emphasis on septin proteins. His laboratory primarily uses budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a model system for genetic analysis. Key research areas include GTP binding and hydrolysis in septins, chaperone-mediated quality control of septin assembly, chemical rescue of mutant protein function, and the establishment of sexual identity and cell polarity during yeast gametogenesis. Analysis of Dr. McMurray's recent publications reveals consistent themes in septin assembly pathways, protein folding mechanisms, and the relationship between nucleotide binding and complex formation. His work demonstrates how GTP binding guides de novo folding toward oligomerization-competent states, how slow GTP hydrolysis enforces assembly order, and how chaperones mediate quality control over septin assembly. His laboratory has pioneered methods for determining temporal order of protein-protein interactions in living cells and discovered chemical rescue mechanisms for mutant proteins using naturally occurring small molecules. NSF award 1928900 for Wild Yeast Outreach Program NIH R01 GM035010 NIH R01 GM124024 NIH R35 GM148198 Dr. McMurray has mentored numerous students and postdocs who have gone on to diverse careers in academia, industry, and medicine.
