Kristiana Gordon has a background in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Gender Studies and is currently enrolled in the Master's degree programme in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of New Brunswick (Frederiction). Kristie's main areas of interest include gender and sexuality studies (particularly queer theory and intersex), medical sociology, freak discourse, as well as a focus on media discourse and the representation of sex and gender variance.

Kristie's current research seeks to build upon a pre-existing body of knowledge that provides a critical analysis of the intersection between bio-medicine and culture, as well as highlighting an often neglected area of research calling attention to the importance of different citizenship practices among those directly affected by bio-medical practices.

It is hoped that if clinicians are made more aware of the issues raised through these citizenship practices, that not only will they be better able to offer support and advice for families in the future, but that discourses in popular media will take into consideration a more critical role in presenting issues related to sexed ambiguity.

Involved in activism for approximately ten years, Kristie has had the opportunity to speak on at least twenty different occasions to Universities, youth groups, as well as various workplaces on issues surrounding sex and gender variance. Kristie has been actively involved in the campus community, being one of the co-founders of UNBSJ's “Q-Collective”, a campus run group geared towards education and support of alternative sexualities and gender identities. Kristie has been interviewed for local and campus newspapers and maintains a website aimed at raising awareness and providing education on intersex issues.
