Cultural Anthropology
Leah Entenmann has a BA in history from Carleton College and a Master of Public Policy from the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Their prior research and nonprofit work focused on gender and global policy, human rights advocacy, and addressing systemic and interpersonal violence. They have taught anthropology as an adjunct lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (part of CUNY) since 2018.
Leah’s current research is focused on Yorùbá gender, sexuality, and activism in Nigeria and Benin. They hope to use reflexive, reciprocal, and emancipatory research methods to explore the ways in which Yorùbá people understand, navigate, and challenge hegemonic sex and gender ideologies in different (post-)colonial contexts.
