Sophie Lewis

Thank you for clicking! I am an ex-academic, free-lance writer, and unpaid independent scholar with a visiting affiliation at the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. I also teach via Zoom for the <a href="https://thebrooklyninstitute.com/people/sophie-lewis/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brooklyn Institute for Social Research</a>. My essays are archived at <a href="http://lasophielle.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">lasophielle.org</a>. In 2022 I published an extended essay, <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/products/2890-abolish-the-family" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation</a> (Verso, 2022), which elaborated on themes I'd developed earlier in <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/books/2951-full-surrogacy-now" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family</a> (also Verso Books, 2019). My scholarship has always operated in the spheres of feminist cultural criticism, queer social reproduction theory, transgender Marxism, and Black and abolitionist feminisms, notably around utopian <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qjdzwb/sophie-lewis-feminist-abolishing-the-family-full-surrogacy-now" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">critiques of the family</a>. Currently, my research focuses on the etiologies of eugenic, bioconservative and imperial feminisms, including narratives of so-called white slavery past and present, femonationalism, and trans-exclusionary femocratism. My third title, Enemy Feminisms, is finished and forthcoming in January 2025 from Haymarket Books. I hope you find things of interest in my Patreon archive. Your support means the world to me, and is what enables me to write. Thank you!~ Sophie
