Wendy Brown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wendy Brown is a professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley. She has made major contributions to post-Foucaultian political theory and feminist theory. In particular, she uses the ideas of Marx, Nietzsche, Weber, Freud, Frankfurt School theorists, Foucault, and contemporary continental philosophers to address problematics of political power, political identity, citizenship, and political subjectivity. Brown's most recent research focuses on the concept of political sovereignty as it is connected to globalization and other transnational forces.
Brown received her Ph.D in political philosophy from Princeton University in 1983. Prior to going to Berkeley in 1999, she taught at Williams College and the University of California, Santa Cruz.
