Dr Lizzie Hughes

Overview

Biography

Lizzie Hughes is an interdisciplinary feminist researcher working across critical criminology, sociology, and trans/gender studies. They have a focused interest in surveillance, everyday informal social regulation, and subject production, particularly in relation to gender, sexuality, and race. They draw on their work leading a community-based LGBTQI+ mental health project to enrich their academic research and pedagogical practice.

Lizzie recently completed their PhD thesis at Birkbeck. The thesis examined contemporary British transphobic discourse about women's public toilets so as to argue that everyday informal surveillance is more than machinic, and more than the visual.

Lizzie also sits on the board of the Surveillance Studies Network as an elected Members Representative.
