At present, I have several projects at different stages in the publication process. My first monograph The Color of Desire: Untangling Race and Sex in German Queer Politics since 1970, is currently in production at Cornell University Press, set for publication in fall 2023. I am also editing a collection with Dr. Sébastien Tremblay at Europa Universität Flensburg, titled Reading Queer History: Queer Print Media in the German Speaking World. The collection brings together scholars from History and German Studies from Austria, Canada, Germany, the UK, and the US and is currently under contract at Palgrave Macmillan.
My most recent article, “Defining Sex Tourism: International Advocacy, German Law, and Gay Activism at the End of the Twentieth Century“ was published in the Journal of the History of Sexuality in January 2023.
In January 2020, “Highly Affected Groups: Gay Men and Racial Others in West Germany’s AIDS Epidemic, 1981-1992,“ appeared in Sexualities as part of a special issue on the “Sexotic“ - the interplay of sex and exoticization in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe. Together with Ulrike Schaper, Magdalena Beljan, Pascal Eitler, and Benno Gammerl, I co-edited the issue and co-wrote the introduction.
In October 2017, "'Toward a Better World for Gays': Race, Tourism, and the Internationalization of the West German Gay Rights Movement, 1969-1983," appeared in the Bulletin of the German Historical Institute.
In June 2017, I published "'Color Him Black': Erotic Representations and the Politics of Race in West German Homosexual Magazines, 1949-1974" in Sexuality & Culture.
I have published several invited pieces, including an afterward to the 2018 German translation of Jane Ward’s 2015 book, Not Gay, as well as contributions to the 2019 Global Encyclopedia of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) History.
I have also written short pieces to make my research public. In February 2022, my piece titled “Forty years of moral panics in Virginia help explain Gov. Youngkin” appeared in The Washington Post’s Made by History blog. In September 2019, I wrote a piece with Sebastien Tremblay on the uses of North American diversity politics in the German queer scene in the Berlin-based magazine Siegessäule. In October 2019, I wrote a contribution to the History | Sexuality | Law Blog of the DFG Research Project, Die Homosexuellenbewegung und die Rechtsordnung in der Bundesrepublik, 1949-2000. During my time at the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C., I wrote a contribution to the History of Knowledge Blog titled "Translating Sex: Spartacus and the Gay Traveler in the 1970s."
I have also published reviews in The Journal of Social History, Central European History, H-Net, Journal of the History of Sexuality, Jahrbuch Sexualitäten 2017, and Cultural History.
