Political Science › faculty

Heike Schotten's areas of specialization are the history of Western political thought, Friedrich Nietzsche, and feminist and queer theory (broadly construed). She is particularly interested in issues of embodiment, the question and possibility of political change, and the relationship of both of these to revolution. She has taught in the Philosophy Department at Pennsylvania State University, and in the Political Science Department at the University of Notre Dame. At UMass-Boston, she teaches courses in both the Political Science and Women’s Studies Departments. She is currently completing the manuscript for her first book, Nietzsche’s Revolution: Loving What One Is. Her article, “Men, Masculinity, and Male Domination: Reframing Feminist Analyses of Sex Work,” is forthcoming from Politics & Gender.
