Summary

I am a historian of radical movements in the postwar United States, focusing especially on movements for queer/LGBTQ liberation, racial justice, and international solidarity, and on activism against HIV/AIDS and the carceral state. I am the author or editor of two books,Lavender and Red: Liberation and Solidarity in the Gay and Lesbian Left, and (with Dan Berger)Remaking Radicalism: A Grassroots Documentary Reader of the United States, 1973-2001. My current book project examines the w88 online live casino of HIV/AIDS activism by, for, and with people in prisons in the 1980s and 1990s United States.

As an Associate Professor jointly appointed in the departments of Gender, Race, and w88 online live casino (GRI) and History, I teach a range of courses in both departments addressing social movements, U.S. history, queer and trans studies, critical ethnic studies, and feminist and social movement theory.
