Butler, Judith, 1956-

Judith Butler, in full Judith Pamela Butler, (born February 24, 1956, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.), is an American academic whose theories of the performative nature of gender and sex were influential within Francocentric philosophy, cultural theory, queer theory, and some schools of philosophical feminism from the late 20th century.

Butler’s father was a dentist and her mother an advocate for fair housing. After attending Bennington College, she studied philosophy at Yale University, receiving B.A. (1978), M.A. (1982), and Ph.D. (1984) degrees. She taught at Wesleyan University, George Washington University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of California, Berkeley, where she was appointed Maxine Elliot Professor of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature in 1998. She also served as Hannah Arendt Professor of Philosophy at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.
