| Carolyn Strange has written widely
in the fields of Canadian, U.S. and Australian social and cultural
history. She has published and taught in a variety of disciplines,
including women’s studies, law, criminology, media studies
and historical geography. Her work revolves around two clusters
of issues: gender, sexuality, medicine, crime, and punishment;
place, memory and identity in modernity.
In 2005 she convened an international conference on “Pain
and Death: Politics, Aesthetics, Legalities,” which brought
together academics from a wide range of disciplines, as well as
artists, musicians, actors and activists.
Carolyn’s forthcoming book (co-written with Alison Bashford)
is “Prophet and Pariah: The Life and Work of Thomas Griffith
Taylor” (explorer, geographer, ethnologist, peace theorist,
travel writer).
She currently co-convenes the research theme, “Crossing
Cultures and Times” in the College of Arts and Social Sciences.
She is an Honorary Associate in History at the University of Sydney
and an adjunct Professor of History and Criminology at the University
of Toronto.
