Dr. Xenia Steinbach’s interests lie at the intersection of history, sociology and biology. She wrote a book about the emergence of theories around hormones and the human psyche in the first half of the 20th century and is currently looking at the path dependencies of past and current endocrinological experimental systems in sex development research, in order to critically question the gendered conditions of this research from a feminist STS perspective.
Dr. Xenia Steinbach is involved in teaching the course Students and Other Knowers in Context in the foundational year.
