Biography
Jemma Tosh is a Research Manager at the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia. She is the author of Perverse Psychology: The Pathologization of Sexual Violence and Transgenderism (Routledge, 2015).
"Tosh’s own unique engagement with genealogical analysis has challenged not only the way that positivist epistemolo-gies have been deployed as tools of oppres-sion, but she has urged those aligned with feminist, constructionist and post-structural epistemologies to engage in greater self-re-flection regarding their own epistemolog-ical views, and to be acutely aware of their potential for harm."
Diana Kuhl, The British Psychological Society, 2016
"This book poses valuable theories and critiques for any college course on the psychology of women, disability, or transgender studies... it is a big step in the right direction."
Layla Zbinden, Savannah Schlauderaff, Esther Rothblum, Psychology of Women Quarterly
