Biography

Katrien De Graeve is a feminist researcher whose work has consistently focused on inequalities in the personal spheres of life. Trained in sociolinguistics and anthropology, she uses ethnographic research and discourse analytic methodologies to study the role of power in shaping intimacies. After meandering through various topics, from adoptive parenting practices to non-monogamous relationships, she has become increasingly intrigued by sexuality and ageing studies. She is the PI of the ERC-funded project 'Later-in-Life Intimacies' on older women's sexuality (2020-2025).
