WORK IN PROGRESS
“In Treatment: Mental Illness, Health, and Modern Sexuality”
This book project explores the encounter of sexual- and gender-variant people with psychiatry and psychoanalysis in the mid-twentieth-century U.S. Drawing on the archive of Saint Elizabeths Hospital, the federal hospital for the mentally ill in Washington, DC, as well as a collection of previously unexamined psychoanalytic patient files, it examines the complexities of mid-century psychiatry’s relationship to sexual and gender non- conformity and argues for the importance of psychiatric scrutiny, stigma, and medicalization in the making of modern sexuality.
“The Power of Queer History”
Article in progress, surveying the field of LGBT/queer history, solicited by the American Historical Review.
