- The introduction to my forthcoming book The Queer Art of History: Queer Kinship After Fascism is now available online via @DukePress. It includes the acknowledgements, where I am so fortunate to thank all those who have shaped the manuscript along the way dukeupress.edu/the-queer-art-…
- ....and now the reveal. The Queer Art of History has a cover, featuring the work of artist Benny Nemer and is creative re-imaginging of an iconic scene from Rosa von Praunheim's film It's Not the Homosexual Who is Perverse....
- Excited to say I've just signed a contract with @DukePress for my new book Queer Life After Fascism: Kinship and the Queer Art of History (2023). So many people helped this get here. I'm very grateful. 🙏
- In a world of “thrilled to announce” I’m thrilled to say I stepped aside and recommended a junior colleague for a transatlantic talk that he was perfect for. Making opportunities for others is the best part of the job. And important too.
- Just received word that I won a @AvHStiftung Research Prize! I'll spend the next few summers in Berlin working on "A Short History of Drag" thanks to the nomination of folks at the Friedrich Meinecke Institut @GeDi_FuBerlin
- My first foray into German history was through the history of resistance groups. I trained with an expert in the field. And yet, it would be *years* before I learned that Hans Scholl had been arrested as a teenager for suspicion of same-sex activity.
- A reminder that minimizing the experiences of lesbians persecuted by the Nazis was a tactic used to stall official recognition and memorialization of this victim group. We are seeing this again, now against trans persons. It is bad history and it is wrong.
- This was a nice surprise.Many CONGRATULATIONS to @JenniferVEvans on winning the 2024 DAAD/GSA Prize for the Best Book in Literature and Cultural Studies, awarded today at the German Studies Association annual convention in Atlanta. What a wonderful and well deserved honour! 🎉🍾🥳🥂
- Adding to the 'must read' list: the new @tsqjournal special issue on "Trans Exclusionary Feminisms and the Global New Right." dukeupress.edu/trans-exclusio…
