Ann Smith

I teach in the Dept of English in the School of Literature and Language Studies of the University of the Witwatersrand. I have been there for the past 22 years. My chief teaching and research interests center around Literary Theory -Feminism and Gender Studies, Gay and Lesbian Studies and Queer Theory in particular- with a special focus on how such theory can be seen to be applicable, in fact essential, to interdiciplinary academic endeavours as well as to real life; in other words mine is a theory-in-action approach This, of course, translates directly into my current involvement with the area of youth, gender and HIV/AIDS prevention. I think that we need to be able to theorise in ways that can make a difference to the lives of people, particularly girls and women, most vulnerable to the epidemic My most recent publications in this area of theory-in-action are:
