In recent years, Teresa Ebert has emerged as as one of the most prominent Marxist critics of "post-al" theory in the academy. Arguing for a "red feminism" and a "red cultural studies" in the context of academic professionalization and the corporatization of the university, Professor Ebert has insisted on the neces Ludic Feminism and After by Teresa Ebert sity of critical thought in the university, and on the need to critique those currents of intellectual work which impede genuine critical- "critique-al" in her usage-analysis.

Professor Ebert's writing and teaching focus on critical and cultural theory, Marxism, feminism, and globalization. Her publications include Ludic Feminism and After: Post-modernism, Desire, and Labor in Late Capitalism (1996), Class in Culture (co-author, 2008), as well as Postality: Marxism and Post-modernism and Marxism, Queer Theory, Gender (both in the Transformation series on "Marxist Boundary Work in Theory, Economics, Politics and Culture," co-edited, 1995 and 2001). Her extended text, "Quango-ing the University: The End(s) of Critique-al Humanities" has appeared in Cultural Logic. Her many essays have been published in such journals as Cultural Critique, Rethinking Marxism, College English, Genders, Against the Current, JAC, Women's Review of Books , and Poetics Today.
