<hr />
<div>British-Australian independent scholar and author (* 30 August 1969). Her works center feminist and queer theory, lesbian feminism, affect studies, postcolonialism, and Black British feminism. She is also a self-proclaimed "feminist killjoy". Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault, Heidi Mirza, Judith Butler, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, among others, influenced and continue to influence her scholarly writing. <br />
<br />
== Life and Education == <br />
Ahmed was born in Salford, England. She is of Pakistani and English descent, with a Pakistani father working as a doctor, and an English mother. Ahmed grew up in Adelaide, Australia after her parents moved there in the 1970s. She received her first degree in English, philosophy, and history from the University of Adelaide in 1989. In 1991, she returned to the UK to complete her doctorate (awarded in 1995) at the Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory at Cardiff University.<br />
<br />
She currently lives in the environs of a small village in Cambridgeshire, England, with her partner Sarah Franklin and their two dogs, Poppy and Bluebell. <br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
In 1994, Ahmed began working as a lecturer in Women’s Studies at Lancaster University. There, she eventually became director of Women’s Studies. She remained there until 2004, when she was elected to the Department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths College, University of London. After a year of working as a reader in Race and Cultural Studies, she was elected to the Professorship of Race and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths. From 2013 to 2016, she was also director of the Centre for Feminist Research, which she called a "lifeline and a shelter [...] not populated by the same old bodies" in her resignation blog post at Goldsmiths. Throughout her career, she also had visiting appointments at Cambridge University, Rutgers University, University of Sydney, and University of Adelaide. <br />
<br />
In 2016, she resigned from her position as Professor of Race and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths in solidarity with the students who filed sexual harassment claims against other members of staff there. She wrote a blog post titled "Resignation" and further explained her decision to resign in protest against Goldsmiths’ failure to adequately address the issue, stating: "''Resignation is a feminist issue''". She now works as an independent scholar and researcher and continues to publish books and articles and occasionally lectures. <br />
<br />
Her work is very much connected to her own struggles as a queer person of color. The term ''feminist killjoy'' is a reference to pervasive and harmful cultural tropes such as the "angry Black woman" or the "unhappy queer". In calling herself a feminist killjoy, she wants to deconstruct Western notions of normative happiness as the ultimate goal in life and highlight the figures that interrupt such narratives. Her books titled ''The Promise of Happiness'' (2010), ''Living a Feminist Life'' (2017), and ''The Feminist Killjoy Handbook'' (2023) work through this in more detail.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Social Media ==<br />
As a self-proclaimed independent feminist scholar and writer, Ahmed regularly uses multiple social media platforms to blog and publish her thoughts on contemporary issues. Her Substack handle is @feministkilljoys — a nod to her research blog (feministkilljoys.com) titled feministkilljoys. She also has a personal website (saranahmed.com) with links to her articles, latest projects, upcoming lectures, and CV. You can also find her on Instagram (@feministkilljoyatwork) where she shares some of the behind-the-scenes of her scholarly work.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Sara Ahmed''' (born 30 August 1969) is a British-Australian independent scholar and author. Her works center [[feminist]] and [[queer theory]], [[lesbian feminism]], [[affect studies]], [[postcolonialism]], and [[Black British feminism]]. She is also a self-proclaimed ''feminist killjoy''. Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault, [[Heidi Mirza]], Judith Butler, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, among others, influenced and continue to influence her scholarly writing. <br />
<br />
== Life and Education == <br />
Ahmed was born in [[Salford]], also known as the [[City of Salford, England]]. She is of Pakistani and English descent, with a Pakistani father working as a doctor, and an English mother. Ahmed grew up in [[Adelaide]], [[Australia]] after her parents moved there in the 1970s. She received her first degree in English, philosophy, and history from the [[University of Adelaide]] in 1989. In 1991, she returned to the UK to complete her doctorate (awarded in 1995) at the ''Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory'' at [[Cardiff University]].<br />
<br />
She currently resides in the environs of a small village in [[Cambridgeshire]], England, with her partner [[Sarah Franklin]] and their two dogs, Poppy and Bluebell. <br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
In 1994, Ahmed began working as a lecturer in [[Women’s Studies]] at [[Lancaster University]]. There, she eventually became director of Women’s Studies. She remained there until she was appointed to the ''Department of Media and Communications'' at [[Goldsmiths College, University of London]], in 2004. After a year of working as a reader in Race and Cultural Studies, she was elected to the Professorship of Race and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths. From 2013-2016, she was also director of the ''Centre for Feminist Research'', which she called a "lifeline and a shelter [...] not populated by the same old bodies" in her resignation blog post, at Goldsmiths. Throughout her career, she also had visiting appointments at [[Cambridge University]], Rutgers University, University of Sydney, and University of Adelaide. <br />
<br />
In 2016, she resigned from her position as Professor of Race and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths in solidarity with the students who filed sexual harassment claims against other members of staff there. She wrote a blog post titled "Resignation" and further explained her decision to resign in protest against Goldsmiths’ failure to adequately address the issue, stating: "''Resignation is a feminist issue.''" She now works as an independent feminist scholar and researcher and continues to publish books and articles and occasionally lectures. <br />
<br />
Her work is very much connected to her own struggles as a queer person of color. The term "feminist killjoy" is a reference to pervasive and harmful cultural tropes such as the "angry Black woman" or the "unhappy queer." In calling herself a ''feminist killjoy'' she wants to deconstruct Western notions of normative happiness as the ultimate goal in life and highlight the figures that interrupt such narratives. Her books titled ''The Promise of Happiness'' (2010), ''Living a Feminist Life'' (2017), and ''The Feminist Killjoy Handbook'' (2023) work through this in more detail. <br />
<br />
== Selected Works ==<br />
* ''Differences that Matter: Feminist Theory and Postmodernism'' (1998)<br />
* ''Strange Encounters: Embodied Others in Post-Coloniality'' (2000)<br />
* ''The Cultural Politics of Emotion'' (2004)<br />
* ''Queer Phenomenology: Orientations, Objects, Others'' (2006)<br />
* ''The Promise of Happiness'' (2010)<br />
* ''On Being Included: Racism and Diversity in Institutional Life'' (2012)<br />
* ''Willful Subjects'' (2014)<br />
* ''Living a Feminist Life'' (2017)<br />
* ''What’s the Use?'' (2019)<br />
* ''Complaint!'' (2021)<br />
* ''The Feminist Killjoy Handbook'' (2023)<br />
* ''No is Not a Lonely Utterance'' (forthcoming)<br />
<br />
== Social Media ==<br />
As an independent feminist scholar and writer, Ahmed regularly uses multiple social media platforms to blog and publish her thoughts on contemporary issues. Her ''Substack'' handle is @feministkilljoys—a nod to her research blog (''feministkilljoys.com'') titled ''feministkilljoys''. She also has a personal website (''saranahmed.com'') with links to her articles, latest projects, upcoming lectures, and CV. You can also find her on ''Instagram'' (@feministkilljoyatwork) where she shares some of the behind-the-scenes of her scholarly work.<br />
<br />
== Accolades ==<br />
* [[Feminist and Women’s Studies Network (FWSA)]] Book Prize 2012, The Promise of Happiness for "ingenuity and scholarship in the fields of feminism, gender or women’s studies."<br />
* Phenomenology Roundtable Award 2010 for "outstanding contribution to the field of phenomenological research."<br />

<hr />
<div>The Honourable Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson, CH (9 March 1892 - 2 June 1962), best known as '''Vita Sackville-West''', was an English novelist, poet, journalist, and garden designer. <br />
<br />
== Early Life and Education ==<br />
Vita grew up in the Kentish countryside at [[Knole]], the Sackville-West's family estate. Her mother was [[Victoria Sackville-West]], Baroness Sackville, and her father was [[Lionel Sackville-West]], 3rd Baron Sackville. She was first home-schooled by governesses and was later enrolled at the very exclusive Helen Wolff's School for Girls in [[Mayfair]], London.<br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
Sackville-West was an accomplished writer and received many accolades throughout her lifetime. One of them includes the Hawthornden Prize for Poetry for her narrative poem ''[[The Land]]'', published in 1926. In the poem, she pays homage to the beauty of the English countryside. She was associated with legendary [[Bloomsbury Group]] and was one of the bestselling authors of [[Hogarth Press]], the publishing house owned by Virginia and [[Leonard Woolf]]. <br />
<br />
As a garden designer, she also published several books on gardening. She was also a prolific diarist and an accomplished journalist.<br />
<br />
In 1948, she was made a Companion of Honour. <br />
<br />
== Private Life ==<br />
In 1913, Sackville-West married [[Sir Harold Nicolson]], a diplomat later turned novelist, with whom she shares her two sons, Benedict and Nigel Nicolson. They had an open marriage and both of them had affairs with same-sex lovers. Their son Nigel wrote about his parent's relationship based on Sackville-West's journals and letters in ''[[Portrait of a Marriage]]'' (1973) <ref>Nicolson, Nigel. ''Portrait of a Marriage'', Atheneum, 1973.</ref>. <br />
<br />
Most notable among the lovers of Sackville-West was the author [[Virginia Woolf]]. The two first met in December 1922 at a dinner party organized by [[Clive Bell]], Woolf's brother-in-law. An affair spanning several years ensued, well documented due to the many letters the pair exchanged with each other and other close parties. Sackville-West even served as the inspiration for [[Virginia Woolf]]'s novel [[Orlando]], a story that spans centuries and follows the titular and ambiguously gendered character named Orlando. She, too, experimented with her gender expression throughout her life. <br />
<br />
Besides Woolf, [[Violet Trefusis]] (neé Keppel), whom she met as a teenager, also played a crucial role in her life as the two also shared a sexual and romantic bond. <br />
<br />
== Death, Legacy, and Popular Culture ==<br />
Sackville-West died on 2 June 1962, aged 70, at [[Sissinghurst Castle]] in Kent after a long battle with abdominal cancer. Her works and cultural contributions have made a lasting impression on both the literary canon and popular culture. The biographical romantic drama film ''[[Vita & Virginia]]'' (2018) <ref>''Vita & Virginia''. Directed by [[Chanya Button]], performances by Gemma Arterton, Elizabeth Debicki, Rupert Penry-Jones, Peter Ferdinando, Thunderbird Releasing, 2018.</ref> by [[Chanya Button]] is among one of the more recent references to the iconic duo in contemporary pop culture. <br />
<br />
== Selected Works ==<br />
* ''The Heir: A Love Story Knole and the Sackvilles'' (1922)<br />
* ''Challenge'' (1923)<br />
* ''Seducers in Ecuador'' (1924)<br />
* ''The Land'' (1926)<br />

<div>The Honourable Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson, CH (9 March 1892 - 2 June 1962), best known as '''Vita Sackville-West''', was an English novelist, poet, journalist, and garden designer. <br />
<br />
== Early Life and Education ==<br />
Vita grew up in the Kentish countryside at [[Knole]], the Sackville-West's family estate. Her mother was [[Victoria Sackville-West]], Baroness Sackville, and her father was [[Lionel Sackville-West]], 3rd Baron Sackville. She was first home-schooled by governesses and was later enrolled at the very exclusive Helen Wolff's School for Girls in [[Mayfair]], London.<br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
Sackville-West was an accomplished writer and received many accolades throughout her lifetime. One of them includes the Hawthornden Prize for Poetry for her narrative poem ''[[The Land]]'', published in 1926. In the poem, she pays homage to the beauty of the English countryside. She was associated with legendary [[Bloomsbury Group]] and was one of the bestselling authors of [[Hogarth Press]], the publishing house owned by Virginia and [[Leonard Woolf]]. <br />
<br />
As a garden designer, she also published several books on gardening. She was also a prolific diarist and an accomplished journalist.<br />
<br />
In 1948, she was made a Companion of Honour. <br />
<br />
== Private Life ==<br />
In 1913, Sackville-West married Sir [[Harold Nicolson]], a diplomat later turned novelist, with whom she shares her two sons, Benedict and Nigel Nicolson. They had an open marriage and both of them had affairs with same-sex lovers. Her son Nigel even wrote about his parent's relationship based on Sackville-West's journals and letters in ''[[Portrait of a Marriage]]'' (1973) <ref>Nicolson, Nigel. ''Portrait of a Marriage'', Atheneum, 1973.</ref>. <br />
<br />
Most notably among the lovers of Sackville-West was the author [[Virginia Woolf]]. The two first met in December 1922 at a dinner party organized by [[Clive Bell]], Woolf's brother-in-law. An affair spanning several years ensued, well documented due to the many letters the pair exchanged with each other and other close parties. Sackville-West even served as the inspiration for [[Virginia Woolf]]'s novel [[Orlando]], a story that spans centuries and follows the titular and ambiguously gendered character named Orlando. She, too, experimented with her gender expression throughout her life. <br />
<br />
Besides Woolf, [[Violet Trefusis]] (neé Keppel), whom she met as a teenager, also played a crucial role in her life as the two also shared a sexual and romantic bond. <br />
<br />
== Death, Legacy, and Popular Culture ==<br />
Sackville-West died on 2 June 1962, aged 70, at [[Sissinghurst Castle]] in Kent after a long battle with abdominal cancer. Her works and cultural contributions have made a lasting impression on both the literary canon and popular culture. The biographical romantic drama film ''[[Vita & Virginia]]'' (2018) <ref>''Vita & Virginia''. Directed by [[Chanya Button]], performances by Gemma Arterton, Elizabeth Debicki, Rupert Penry-Jones, Peter Ferdinando, Thunderbird Releasing, 2018.</ref> by [[Chanya Button]] is among one of the more recent references to the iconic duo in contemporary pop culture. <br />

<div>Lady Victoria Mary Nicolson (née Sackville-West, 9 March 1892 - 2 June 1962), best known as '''Vita Sackville-West''', was an English novelist, poet, journalist, and garden designer. <br />
<br />
== Early Life and Education ==<br />
Vita grew up in the Kentish countryside at [[Knole]], the Sackville-West's family estate. Her mother was [[Victoria Sackville-West]], Baroness Sackville, and her father was [[Lionel Sackville-West]], 3rd Baron Sackville. She was first home-schooled by governesses and was later enrolled at the very exclusive Helen Wolff's School for Girls in [[Mayfair]], London.<br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
Sackville-West was an accomplished writer and received many accolades throughout her lifetime. One of them includes the Hawthornden Prize for Poetry for her narrative poem ''[[The Land]]'', published in 1926. In the poem, she pays homage to the beauty of the English countryside. She was associated with legendary [[Bloomsbury Group]] and one of the bestselling authors of [[Hogarth Press]], the publishing house owned by Virginia and [[Leonard Woolf]]. <br />
<br />
As a garden designer, she also published several books on gardening. She was also a prolific diarist and an accomplished journalist.<br />
<br />
In 1948, she was made a Companion of Honour. <br />
<br />
== Private Life ==<br />
In 1913, Sackville-West married Sir [[Harold Nicolson]], a diplomat later turned novelist, with whom she shares her two sons, Benedict and Nigel Nicolson. They had an open marriage and both of them had affairs with same-sex lovers. Her son Nigel even wrote about his parent's relationship based on Sackville-West's journals and letters in ''[[Portrait of a Marriage]]'' <ref>Nicolson, Nigel. ''Portrait of a Marriage'', Atheneum, 1973.</ref> (1973). <br />
<br />
Most notably among the lovers of Sackville-West was the author [[Virginia Woolf]]. The two first met in December 1922 at a dinner party organized by Clive Bell, Woolf's brother-in-law. An affair spanning several years ensued, well documented due to the many letters the pair exchanged with each other and other close parties. Sackville-West even served as the inspiration for [[Virginia Woolf]]'s novel [[Orlando]], a story that spans centuries and follows the titular and ambiguously gendered character named Orlando. She, too, experimented with her gender expression throughout her life. <br />
<br />
Besides Woolf, [[Violet Trefusis]] (neé Keppel), whom she met as a teenager, also played a crucial role in her life as the two also shared a sexual and romantic bond. <br />
<br />
== Death, Legacy, and Popular Culture ==<br />
Sackville-West died on 2 June 1962, aged 70, at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent after a long battle with abdominal cancer. Her works and cultural contributions have made a lasting impression on both the literary canon and popular culture. The biographical romantic drama film ''[[Vita & Virginia]]'' <ref>''Vita & Virginia''. Directed by [[Chanya Button]], performances by Gemma Arterton, Elizabeth Debicki, Rupert Penry-Jones, Peter Ferdinando, Thunderbird Releasing, 2018.</ref> (2018) by [[Chanya Button]] is among one of the more recent references to the iconic duo in contemporary pop culture. <br />

<div>Lady Victoria Mary Nicolson (née Sackville-West, 9 March 1892 - 2 June 1962), best known as '''Vita Sackville-West''', was an English novelist, poet, journalist, and garden designer. <br />
<br />
== Early Life and Education ==<br />
Vita grew up in the Kentish countryside at [[Knole]], the Sackville-West's family estate. Her mother was [[Victoria Sackville-West]], Baroness Sackville, and her father was [[Lionel Sackville-West]], 3rd Baron Sackville. <br />
<br />
== Career ==<br />
Sackville-West was an accomplished writer and received many accolades throughout her lifetime. One of them includes the Hawthornden Prize for Poetry for her narrative poem ''[[The Land]]'', published in 1926. In the poem, she pays homage to the beauty of the English countryside. She was associated with legendary [[Bloomsbury Group]] and one of the bestselling authors of [[Hogarth Press]], the publishing house owned by Virginia and [[Leonard Woolf]]. <br />
<br />
As a garden designer, she also published several books on gardening. She was also a prolific diarist and an accomplished journalist.<br />
<br />
In 1948, she was made a Companion of Honour. <br />
<br />
== Private Life ==<br />
In 1913, Sackville-West married Sir Harold Nicolson, a diplomat later turned novelist, with whom she shares her two sons, Benedict and Nigel Nicolson. They had an open marriage and both of them had affairs with same-sex lovers. Her son Nigel even wrote about his parent's relationship based on Sackville-West's journals and letters in ''[[Portrait of a Marriage]]'' <ref>Nicolson, Nigel. ''Portrait of a Marriage'', Atheneum, 1973.</ref> (1973). Most notably among those lovers of Sackville-West was the author [[Virginia Woolf]]. The two first met in December 1922 at a dinner party organized by Clive Bell, Woolf's brother-in-law. An affair spanning several years ensued, well documented due to the many letters the pair exchanged with each other and other close parties. Sackville-West even served as the inspiration for [[Virginia Woolf]]'s novel [[Orlando]], a story that spans centuries and follows the titular and ambiguously gendered character named Orlando. She, too, experimented with her gender expression throughout her life. <br />
<br />
Besides Woolf, [[Violet Trefusis]] (neé Keppel), whom she met as a teenager, also played a crucial role in her life as the two also shared a sexual and romantic bond. <br />
<br />
== Death, Legacy, and Popular Culture ==<br />
Sackville-West died on 2 June 1962, aged 70, at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent after a long battle with abdominal cancer. Her works and cultural contributions have made a lasting impression on both the literary canon and popular culture. The biographical romantic drama film ''[[Vita & Virginia]]'' <ref>''Vita & Virginia''. Directed by [[Chanya Button]], performances by Gemma Arterton, Elizabeth Debicki, Rupert Penry-Jones, Peter Ferdinando, Thunderbird Releasing, 2018.</ref> (2018) by [[Chanya Button]] is among one of the more recent references to the iconic duo in contemporary pop culture. <br />
