Ann Pellegrini and Avgi Saketopoulou
We’re delighted to be working with authors and professors Ann Pellegrini and Avgi Saketopoulou on their recently published book, Gender Without Identity.
Ann Pellegrini is Professor of Performance Studies & Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University, and a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. Their previous books include Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race (Routledge, 1997) and the 2014 Lambda Finalist in Best LGBT Non-Fiction “You Can Tell Just by Looking” And 20 Other Myths About LGBT Life and People, coauthored with Michael Bronski and Michael Amico (Beacon Press, 2013).
Avgi Saketopoulou trained as a clinical psychologist in New York after having moved to the United States from Greece and Cyprus. She subsequently completed training as a psychoanalyst at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. As part of her academic work, she teaches at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. She is also on the faculties of several other psychoanalytic institutes such as the William Alanson White Institute, the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, the Stephen Mitchell Relational Center, and the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, where she offers intersectionally-informed courses on psychosexuality and gender. Her recently published book, Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia (NYU Press, 2023), sold out its first printing before it was even published and its second printing in its record’s time. It’s currently in its third printing.
Their book Gender Without Identity is published by Unconscious in Translation.
