Megan Sinnott is an Associate Professor of Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies. Her main research interests have been the configurations of sexuality and gender in Thailand, specifically female same-sex relations and gendered identities.
She has written on Thai nationalism and the state’s policies and discourses on sexuality and gender, non-governmental organizations and activism, and the sexual and gendered identities of “tom” and “dee.” She has spent approximately nine years in Thailand studying and conducting research on these topics. Her new interest is ghost and spirit stories and how these narratives emerge and circulate within particular historical and political contexts.
Before coming to Georgia State, she taught anthropology and women’s studies at Mahidol and Thammasat universities in Thailand, University of Colorado-Boulder and Yale University.
