ABOUT
Natalie Kouri-Towe is an Assistant Professor and Program Director for the Interdisciplinary Studies in Sexuality program at the Simone de Beauvoir Institute at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Her work examines solidarity, kinship, and attachment in social movements and activist responses to war and gender/sexuality-based violence, with a focus on North America and the Middle East. Her new research examines the role of sexuality and kinship in responses to the "refugee crisis" and she is currently working on a book manuscript on feminist and queer solidarity under neoliberalism.
