Anna Hickey-Moody

Dr. Anna Hickey-Moody is a lecturer in Gender and Cultural Studies at Sydney. Anna taught at Monash University and the University of South Australia before joining the Department in 2009. Her research interests lie at the intersection of cultural studies and the sociology of youth. Anna has a background in performance studies and, as such, her work features philosophical approaches to aesthetics and arts based research methods. She is currently completing a book based on her postdoctoral research, which was an investigation into the arts practices of young people at risk of leaving school early. Her empirical research for this project involved lower socio-economic students and refugee students who were statically considered at risk of leaving school early. Anna’s theorization of this project troubles the construction of 'at risk' subjects and the production of the youthful 'at risk' subject in relation to what she calls ‘assemblages of social disadvantage’. Her forthcoming book considers the extent to which such engagements impact on the production of ‘self’ through arts practices.
