Sarah Jacques

Sarah Jacques is a 1st year PhD candidate in the Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities, at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Her research critically engages Queer Theory and Militarism, to bring focus to the cultural phenonemon of elite, white male masculinity within the British Military Camp. Paying particular attention to construction of gender identities, gendered experience and creation of sub-cultures, Sarah's research intently offers fluidity, embracing feminism, military theory, intersectionality, and design theory.

Through her research, Sarah aspires to intervene in the public and political debate around the construct of gender identities, and the moral geographies of sexuality and how spaces are occupied, critically engaging with transofrmations in contemporary queer, by extension of queer space, subsequently challenging the social and political binaries which regulate gender identity in the construct of military institutions, exploring power and ideology which sustains gendered social arrangements.

Sarah has a particular interest in the Military having lived as part of a Military family for over 10 years, other research interests include Queer and discourses around political normalisation of body, gender and sexuality.
