Anne McClintock

Anne McClintock is a Zimbabwean-South African writer, feminist scholar and public intellectual who has published widely on issues of sexuality, race, imperialism, and nationalism; popular and visual culture, photography, advertising and cultural theory. Transnational and interdisciplinary in character, her work explores the interrelations of gender, race, and class power within imperial modernity, spanning Victorian and contemporary Britain to contemporary South Africa, Ireland, and the United States. Since 2015, McClintock is the A. Barton Hepburn Professor in the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. As of 2022, she has held a joint with the Princeton Environmental Institute, and is affiliated with the Department of English and the Ephron Center for American Studies.

Previously, McClintock was the Simone de Beauvoir Professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison where she taught from 1999 to 2015. Before Wisconsin, she taught at both Columbia University and New York University.

In 1979, she received an M Phil in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge. McClintock earned her PhD in English Literature at Columbia University in 1989.
