Beverly Yuen Thompson has earned a Ph.D. and Master’s Degree in Sociology from the New School for Social Research in New York; A Master’s Degree in Women’s Studies from San Diego State University; and a BA degree in Political Science from Eastern Washington University. She has worked on the issues of complexity within identity politics, problematizing the concept of unitary identity by replacing the unspoken norm of the white middle class woman with a bisexual and mixed race identity location, from which vantage point we can begin to reconceptualize identity concepts altogether. In addition, she wrote about the use of direct action and jail solidarity by the global justice movement for her dissertation, based upon extensive ethnographic research. She is currently involved in activism around the pro-choice movement and is creating a documentary film about clinic defense in Miami.

Beverly Yuen Thompson is currently a post-doc in women’s studies at FIU. She teaches Intro to Women’s Studies, Internship in Women’s Studies, and Social Movement, Gender and Justice (cross listed with sociology).
