Shannon Philip is a queer-feminist sociologist whose research focuses on the relationships between masculinities, femininities, and sexualities within urban contexts of the Global South. With extensive ethnographic and qualitative fieldwork conducted in New Delhi and Johannesburg, Shannon explores the complexities surrounding men's violence against women and queer individuals, as well as the embodied performances of class, gender, and sexuality. The research is deeply intersectional, examining how race, class, caste, and sexuality interact in everyday social processes and their consequences. Shannon engages critically with sociological concepts in Gender and Sexuality, Youth Sociology, Urban Sociology, and Decolonial and Postcolonial Sociology.
