Professor, Pauline Jewett Institute for Women and Gender Studies
Email: KatharineBausch@cunet.carleton.ca
Bausch is a feminist historian and interdisciplinary scholar whose research examines the intersections of gender, race, popular culture consumption, sex and class. Her earlier work considered the ways in which white U.S. artists and activists from the 1940s to the 1970s appropriated imagined black masculinities into their work. Her current project examines the ways in feminism and feminists have been represented in U.S. popular culture since the 1930s. Bausch is an advocate of feminist activism in educational communities inside and outside of the university and works closely with high schools to introduce feminist learning.
She is available to speak about students learning about gender bias, teaching about women’s achievements and commemoration, as well as pop culture and gender bias.
