Shelley Park is a professor of philosophy and cultural studies whose work centers on queer kinship, intimacies, and care. The author of Mothering Queerly, Queering Motherhood, her previous work centered on non-normative forms of kinship. Her current research focuses on how technological solutions to the “care crisis” in the global North (re)shape our understandings of, and practices of, intimacy and care. As part of this larger project, she is especially interested in how and why technologies of care are racialized and gendered. Shelley is currently working on a monograph tentatively entitled “Helicopter Mothers and Smart Homes: The Deployment of White Femininity as a Surveillance Device.” She works at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, located on the traditional homelands of the Timucua, Seminole, and Tocobaga peoples.
