M Kathy Rudy is a professor of women's studies at Duke University. Rudy's work is often interdisciplinary as she merges philosophy, theology, politics, feminism, and medical ethics. She is open about her homosexuality,^[1] and is a radical social constructionist.

Rudy's current projects include Sweetness and Devotion — a personal and intellectual examination of medical alert dogs and diabetic alert dogs.
