Breanne Fahs is an associate professor of women and gender studies at Arizona State University, where she specializes in studying women's sexuality, critical embodiment studies, radical feminism, and political activism. She has a B.A. in women's studies/gender studies and psychology from Occidental College and a Ph.D. in women's studies and clinical psychology from the University of Michigan. She has published widely in feminist, social science, and humanities journals and has authored four books: Performing Sex (SUNY Press, 2011), an analysis of the paradoxes of women's "sexual liberation," The Moral Panics of Sexuality (Palgrave, 2013), an edited collection that examines cultural anxieties of "scary sex," Valerie Solanas (Feminist Press, 2014), a biography of author/would-be assassin Valerie Solanas, and Out for Blood (SUNY Press, forthcoming November 1, 2016), a book of essays on menstrual activism and resistance. She is currently working on two book projects: the first is about radical feminist histories and their links to contemporary problems of sex, gender, and justice (forthcoming with University of Washington Press) and the second is an edited collection about the dangers and subversive potential of contagion (forthcoming with Rutgers University Press). She is the director of the rambunctious Feminist Research on Gender and Sexuality Group at Arizona State University, and she also works as a clinical psychologist in private practice where she specializes in sexuality, couples work, and trauma recovery.
