Rebecca Inez Saunders

Rebecca Inez Saunders graduated with a First Class degree in English Literature from the University of St. Andrews in 2008. After teaching in Europe for two years, she received an M.A. with Distinction from King’s College London in 2011. Her M.A. thesis on the potential for valuably subversive contemporary pornography developed into the Ph.D. in Porn Studies that she is currently completing and for which she received a scholarship. Rebecca has spoken on pornography and related subjects of interest, including feminist and queer theory, post-structuralism, and immaterial labor in digital culture, at King's College, London. She writes for Porn Studies, pornography’s first peer-reviewed journal, and regularly contributes to Birkbeck, University of London’s blog, “Notches,” which explores the history of sexuality.
