Kylie Marais Email and Phone Number
I am feminist anthropologist and doctoral candidate. My dissertation critically explores the sexual subjectivities of contemporary women from Cape Town, South Africa. My research study involved interviewing individual (self-identified) coloured women about their sexual beliefs and experiences. I also conducted participant observation in several sexual spaces in South Africa. I have published a journal article and book chapter based on my research, and have also presented my parts of my research findings at local and international conferences. Through my research and work, I emphasise the role of sexual pleasure as a powerful tool for female empowerment. My other research interests include: queer theory, phenomenology, and storytelling.
