Biography

Maria Gurevich is a Professor in the Psychology Department at Toronto Metropolitan University. She has been a faculty member since 2001 and is the Director of the SHiFT Lab, which focuses on the integration of feminist theory with sexuality studies. Dr. Gurevich's research critically examines the ways in which popular scientific discourses concerning sexuality intersect with everyday human experiences and the complexities surrounding sexualities. Her work interrogates normative assumptions about sexual health and agency, particularly in the context of privilege and power dynamics. Dr. Gurevich's research emphasizes the roles of sexual technologies and societal expectations, with a critical narrative exploring construction and constriction of sexual practices within culturally and historically specific contexts. She adopts feminist poststructuralist and queer theoretical approaches in her research, which investigates the implications of sexual health narratives in neoliberal societies.
