Academic career

After a 1985 MA titled 'Depressive self-schemata and gender-schemata in women' [2] and a 1990 PhD titled 'Rape and sexual coercion within heterosexual relationships : an intersection of psychological, feminist, and postmodern inquiries' at the University of Auckland,[3] she joined the staff, rising to full professor.[1]

Much of Gavey's research focuses on the gender politics, sexuality, rape and coercion, and often features in the press.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
