Lynne Huffer is Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Emory University. She is the author of four books, including most recently Mad for Foucault: Rethinking the Foundations of Queer Theory (2010). She has published widely on Foucault, feminist philosophy and theory, queer theory, post-structuralism, and French literature. Her newest book, Are the Lips a Grave? Queer Feminist Reflections on the Ethics of Sex (forthcoming 2013), is a genealogy of the ethics of sex in contemporary queer and feminist contexts. Huffer has also published creative non-fiction in a range of literary journals. She is currently at work on a number of different projects: a book about eros and the ethics of sex, a memoir about her mother and, with visual artist Jennifer Yorke, a collaborative series of artists books.
