Research Interests:

Scholarly Projects:
My book, Men in Place: Trans Masculinity, Race, and Sexuality in America, demonstrates through a large and geographically diverse interview study with transgender men that contemporary U.S. masculinity is deeply embedded in the spaces and places men move their in their everyday lives and is inseparable from race and sexuality. I am also working on a collaborative project on the coming of age experiences of sexual and gender minority youth, including queer, transgender, gay, lesbian, bisexual and other non-heterosexual and non-cisgender identified teens in addition to work on rural queer and transgender people in the Northwest U.S.
