Academic career

After a 1985 MA titled 'Depressive self-schemata and gender-schemata in women' 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, she joined the staff, rising to full professor.

Much of Gavey's research focuses on the gender politics, sexuality, rape and coercion, and often features in the press.
