Dominique Grisard is currently a Swiss National Science Foundation fellow at the New School for Social Research in New York. In 2011 she was a University of Basel Fellow at the University of Chicago. At the University of Basel she teaches courses on cultural theories and methods, discourse analysis, gender and terrorism, sexuality and the sexualization of culture as well as gender, crime and prison. Grisard has published on legal, political and media aspects of left wing terrorism, on the imprisonment of women in 1970s Switzerland and on gender theory more generally. She is the author of Gendering Terror, a history of (counter)terrorism in 1970s Switzerland and Germany (Frankfurt/New York: Campus, 2011) and the editor of two anthologies on gender theory (Gender and Knowledge, Zürich: Chronos, 2004; Gender in Motion, Frankfurt/New York: Campus, 2007). Grisard is presently working on two book-length projects: Pink weaves a history of gender and sexuality through and around the color pink (funded by the University of Basel and the Swiss National Science Foundation); a second project focuses on intimacies and sexualities in 19th and 20th century European prisons. Grisard’s research and studies have taken her to the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, Argentina, Germany and Switzerland.
