Dr. Andreja Zevnik

Biography

Andreja Zevnik joined the University of Manchester in January 2012 as a Lecturer in International Politics. She holds a PhD (2011) from Aberystwyth University and an MScEcon in International Relations Theory (2007) from the same institution. Her research spans psychoanalysis, continental philosophy, critical race studies, and aesthetic politics, focusing on how subjectivity is produced, how acts of resistance occur, and the intersection of political violence, protest, and action. Recent studies examine how experiences of anxiety modify political participation and create new forms of political subjectivity. Zevnik is particularly interested in struggles related to the civil rights movement and initiatives such as Black Lives Matter. She has published several works, including a monograph titled 'Lacan, Deleuze and World Politics: Rethinking Ontology of the Political Subject' (Routledge, 2016) and co-edited volumes addressing psychoanalysis and politics. Her active research questions how politics can be performed differently while striving to articulate the political reality through the lens of race and resistance, particularly involving politically marginalized groups across the globe.
