Biography

Anna Drake works in the area of democratic theory with a focus on deliberative democracy, intersectionality, and activism. Her current research examines structural injustice through deliberative theory and analyzes ways deliberative systems respond to problems of systemic racism, sexism, and ableism. One of her projects applies the arguments of the Combahee River Collective as a starting point for a radical intersectional analysis in post-conflict societies, advocating for a wide engagement of civil society through an expansive form of deliberative consociationalism. Drake's fields include political theory and gender politics, and she is enthusiastic about supervising students in these areas.
