Natalie Kouri-Towe is an interdisciplinary feminist and sexuality studies scholar working on solidarity, kinship, and attachment in social movements and activist responses to war and gender/sexuality-based violence. Her research has been published in both academic and non-academic venues on topics related to solidarity, kinship, and attachment in social movements; queer activism; and masculinity in conditions of war in the Middle East. She is currently researching in two new areas: (1) responses to the “refugee crisis” and (2) sexuality pedagogies. Her book manuscript on feminist and queer solidarity under neoliberalism is currently in progress.
