The Queer Age of Sail

I am an Assistant Professor of History at Hunter College. I study medicine, gender, and sexuality, with particular focus on early modern Europe and European imperialism and colonialism.

My current research focuses on the queer age of sail. I am the editor of the historical source collection Sexual and Gender Difference in the British Navy, 1690-1900 (Routledge, 2024), and I am completing work on a queer history of the British Navy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
