Biography

Marion Schulze is an Assistant Professor of Gender Studies and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Basel, co-chair at the Centre for Gender Studies. Her research interests lie at the intersection of sociology and feminist epistemology, focusing on the materialities of knowledge-making. Schulze's current work involves researching the verbs concepts in feminist theory, with a pilot study titled 'Feminist Material Theory' that explores the concepts of 'weaving' and 'stitching' as material practices. This work received a Spark Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. Her research further investigates the use of hyphens in revisiting theories in 1970s and 1980s feminist texts, and she studies the social worlds and ecologies of knowledge. Her monograph, 'Hardcore & Gender', provides an ethnographic look at gender knowledge within the hardcore punk subculture. Previous to her role at the Centre for Gender Studies, she held a senior lecturer position in Gender Studies at the University of Neuchâtel and worked as a doctoral researcher at the University of Basel, where she earned her PhD in sociology. Schulze graduated from the University of Osnabrück, Germany, where she pursued studies in arts and English.
