Loes Oudenhuijsen [Editor board member] Loes is a PhD candidate at the African Studies Centre at Leiden University. Her research concerns transformations and continuations in gender norms in Senegal, through a focus on the positioning of sexually dissident women in society. Following the trajectories of a number of queer women, sex workers and feminist activists, she explores the debates that their agency engenders concerning the position of women and their sexual rights in society.
