Where might I find you? Objects and internal space for the father

About the Author Gail Lewis is Reader in Identities and Psychosocial Studies at the Open University. Her research preoccupations centre on the experience and dynamics of ‘race’ and gender, subjectivity and intersubjectivity, the psychodynamics of group and organisational process in state welfare agencies, and intersectionality and citizenship. She draws on feminist social, cultural, postcolonial and psychoanalytic theory to explore these objects of enquiry. Her publications include ‘Race’, Gender, Social Welfare (Polity Press) and Citizenship: Personal Lives and Social Policy (Policy Press), which she edited and coauthored, respectively; and she has contributed to numerous journals including Feminist Review and Cultural Studies, Ethnic and Racial Studies. She is coeditor (with Kathy Davis) of the European Journal of Women's Studies.
