Katerina Deliovsky’s scholarship is broadly located in critical race theory with an emphasis on critical whiteness studies and anti-hegemonic epistemology (anti-colonial, decolonial, anti-racist theorizing etc.) A distinct but related area of inquiry is the critical sociology of mixed unions. Dr. Deliovsky has published on the contemporary articulations of gendered racism, white supremacy and ‘white rage’, regulation of interracial intimacies, the racialization of whiteness and femininity, methodological complexity and race, intersectionality and the epistemic disruption of race and feminist theorizations, including unsettling the feminist theorization of (white) women’s sex/“romance” tourism and transnational relationships in the Caribbean with black men. Her current research interests extend her anti-hegemonic epistemological orientation to explore the interplay between power and knowledge in the regulation of contested knowledge within contemporary contexts of surveillance and control, where certain forms of knowledge are privileged over others, reflecting power interests.
