Geraldine Harris teaches in the Department of Theatre Studies at the University of Lancaster. Gerry's move into focusing on the politics of subjectivity and identity in contemporary theatre and performance was reflected in articles for The Contemporary Theatre Review, New Theatre Quarterly and Studies in Theatre Production and in her 1999 monograph Staging Feminities Performance and Performativity (Manchester University Press), which considers performances by Rose English, Bobby Baker and Annie Sprinkle. This was followed by a period of consolidating her research into the aesthetics and politics of television drama, which resulted in her monograph Beyond Representation: Television Drama and the Politics and Aesthetics of Identity (Manchester University Press, 2006).
