Biography

Anna Hickey-Moody is a Lecturer in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney. She is the author of Unimaginable Bodies: intellectual disability, performance and becomings (Sense 2009), co-author of Masculinity Beyond the Metropolis (Palgrave 2006), co-editor of Disability Matters: pedagogy, media and affect (Routledge 2011), and Deleuzian Encounters: studies in contemporary social issues (Palgrave 2007).
