Shannon is a queer-feminist sociologist of colour. His research focuses on the relationship between masculinities, femininities and sexualities in cities of the Global South. He has carried out long-term ethnographic and qualitative fieldwork in New Delhi and Johannesburg exploring questions of men's violence towards women and queer people, embodied performances of class, gender and sexuality, as well as the transforming articulations of heteropatriarchal and heteronormative power. Shannon's research is intersectional, focusing on the ways in which race, class, caste, sexuality and gender operate in everyday social processes and their many consequences.
