Suzanna Walters

Suzanna Walters is Professor of Sociology and Professor and Director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Northeastern University. Walters's work centers on questions of gender, feminist theory and politics, sexuality, and popular culture and she is a frequent commentator on these issues for the media. Her most recent book, The Tolerance Trap: How God, Genes, and Good Intentions are Sabotaging Gay Equality (NYU Press), explores how notions of tolerance limit the possibilities for real liberation and deep social belonging. She is currently working on a book examining the state of both feminist theory and politics in an era of “call-out feminism” and intense social media attention.
