Research

Author of Theory in Its Feminist Travels, Katie King is concerned with questions of feminist epistemology, lesbian theory, histories of writing technologies, and the politics of making distinctions between the oral and the written. One current research project looks at publication and distribution of the religious and political writings of Quaker women on women's public speech in 17th c. London and at today's communities with religious and political interests in their travels "in pairs." A second study examines the contemporary cultural battles over global tv and the internet, new commodities and their distribution produced by and producing new writing technologies, and women's international media fandoms and their refusals of dichotomous constructions of sexuality. Each project in "feminism and writing technologies" engages with problems in Lesbian and Gay historiography to describe the "layers of globals and locals" that structure our understanding of historically specific sexual identities. She is currently completing her next book An Introduction to Feminism and Writing Technologies.
