First name,Last name,Preferred title,Overview,Position,Department,Individual Kristan,Poirot,Associate Professor,"Dr. Kristan Poirot engages the concerns of contemporary feminist theorists, rhetoricians, and historians by examining the circulation of sex, gender, and race identifications in U.S. contexts that span from the nineteenth century onward. In her work, Poirot examines number of different rhetorical sites to better understand the situatedness of these identifications. She pays particular attention to social movement rhetorics and public memories about resistance and white heteronormative male supremacy. Her focus on place and context enables a feminist intervention that grapples with both the conceptual and material entailments of sex, gender, and racial disparity.",Associate Professor||Associate Professor,Women & Gender Studies,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nd4d220b0
