Riikka Prattes is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Gender, Sexuality and Critical Diversity Studies at the University of Bergen. She has a PhD in Social and Political Thought from the Institute for Social Justice (Sydney) and a Mag.a phil. in Cultural and Social Anthropology from the University of Vienna. Riikka has held postdoctoral positions at Duke University and Monash University and is a founding member of the Revaluing Care in the Global Economy network. She convenes the research group Foundational Questions in Gender and Sexuality Research at the University of Bergen as well as the online reading group Water and Care. Riikka’s interdisciplinary research spans care work and care ethics, men and masculinities, decolonial theory, and questions of epistemology and embodiment, with publications in journals such as Feminist Theory, Men and Masculinities, Essays in Philosophy or The British Journal of Sociology. Currently, Riikka works on two projects: In her project on young men’s ecological care in climate justice struggles, she engages the concept of “caring masculinities” to look at ecological and Indigenous justice struggles in the Nordics. Her other project, Bodies of Knowledge: Masculinities, Epistemologies, and Domestic Work, aims to make visible affects, emotions and embodiment as marginalized forms of knowing.
