A graduate of the University of Florida, she received her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and has held research fellowships at Rutgers University and the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champagne. Her publications on the philosophy of interpretive social science and the ever shifting structural grounds of identity politics include: “The Jurisprudence of Privacy,” Feminist Theory, 9 (2), August 2008 and with Engelmann and Wingrove, “Facts, Values and ‘Real’ Numbers: Making Sense In and Of Political Science” in The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences: Positivism and Its Epistemological Others, George Steinmetz, ed., 2005. Her current work investigates the renaming of labor as human capital, and questions the effects of this new language of property on the practice of rights and on governance generally.
