Rachel Spronk

Rachel Spronk is professor of Sexuality and Gender, anthropology, University of Amsterdam.  In her research she focusses on historical trajectories in the production of gender and sexuality, and their relevance for present-day relations. A central question is how people’s lived experiences must shape our  theoretical models. In this she pays special attention to the interface between sexuality and middle class in Ghana and Kenya while problematizing the presuppositions underneath these notions.
