Research / Scholarly Activity
Concerned with the intersections of gender, race, region, and queer identity, my book, Drastic Dykes and Accidental Activists, examines lesbian life in Atlanta, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina. My 2019 article, published in the Journal of Women’s History, explores lesbian-feminist action in the urban New South. Currently I am working on two research projects: the first interrogates the transnational history of Pentecostalism and queer identity, while my newest work examines mass incarceration and sex policing.
