Dr Judy Lattas is Director of the Interdisciplinary Women’s Studies, Gender and Sexuality program at Macquarie University, and was Associate Dean of Learning and Teaching in the Division of Society, Culture, Media and Philosophy from 2006 to 2008. She has been teaching in women’s studies and gender at Macquarie since 1989. In 1998 she was awarded her PhD for a thesis entitled “Politics in Labour”, a deconstructivist reading of Hannah Arendt on the philosophical conditions of totalitarianism. In her research she is interested most recently in the popular right in Australia, publishing on Pauline Hanson, on gun activism, on secessionist micronations and on the Cronulla riots. In the field of Learning and Teaching she is interested in re-imagining both the Kantian ideal of “knowledge for its own sake” and the radical pedagogies of the 1960s (Freire, Boal etc) for universities in the 21st Century.
