Gail Lewis holds a Visiting Professorship at Yale University (2021 – 25) and is Reader Emerita in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck College, and Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the Department of Gender Studies, LSE. She trained as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic. Her political subjectivity was formed in the intensities of black feminist and anti-racist struggle and through a socialist, anti-imperialist lens. She was a member of the Brixton Black Women’s Group and one of the founder members of the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent, Britain’s first national organisation for black and other women of colour. She organises her thinking through the category ‘experience’ which she conceives as a vector of both the felt senses and an analytic in the production of meaning and knowing otherwise. Her current book project is on Black feminism in Britain. She has written on feminism, intersectionality, the welfare state and citizenship, psychoanalysis and Black feminism, and the psychosocial dynamics of racialised-gendered experience. She is an Arsenal fan.
