2019 Fellow, Public Engagement Project

Kirsten Leng studies the history of feminism. Her research addresses two questions. First, how have gender politics influenced scientific knowledge on sex and sexuality, specifically among feminists in the early twentieth century? Second, what role has humor played in U.S. feminism? As a PEP fellow, she will write articles for the general public that show how feminists have used science and humor as key resources to affect social change.
