Biography

Leticia Sabsay is an Associate Professor in the Department of Gender Studies at the London School of Economics. Her research interests lie in contemporary culture, specifically examining the entanglement of sexuality, subjectivity, and political ideals of freedom and justice within transnational contexts. She has developed a strong focus on the theories of performativity and discourse, primarily influenced by Judith Butler's work. Her academic contributions explore the intersection of democracy and the complexities surrounding bodies valued differently across gender, sexual, and racial lines. Sabsay has extensively published on issues related to sexual diversity, political recognition, and performativity, focusing particularly on Latin American contexts. She is affiliated with several research networks and has previously held positions at Birkbeck College, University of London, and the Open University.
