Danielle Bouchard earned her Ph.D. in Feminist Studies from the University of Minnesota in 2006. Her scholarly interests include postcolonial and poststructuralist feminisms, contemporary continental philosophy, critical university studies, and cinema and visual media studies. Her first book, A Community of Disagreement: Feminism in the University (Peter Lang 2012), uses the philosophical concept of disagreement to read, and provide alternatives to, the most common ways in which feminism's place in the modern US university is imagined. She is currently working on a new book project that examines the role of visual tropes, texts, and technologies in hegemonic articulations of human rights.
