of marriage, family, gender, and sexuality, and I study queer history. The first branch of my research is strongly influenced by critical and sociolegal approaches to law; and it traverses multiple bodies of legal doctrine, most prominently constitutional, criminal, and family law. The second branch focuses on queer identities, communities, and politics since the mid-nineteenth century. My research in one area powerfully informs what I do in the other. I see law through a historian’s eyes and history through the eyes of a legal scholar. At the same time, I welcome frameworks and insights from other disciplines. Hence my scholarship’s intense engagements with work in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, critical theory, and literature.”
