My “Queer Germany” students had the privilege of speaking with film director Yony Leyser about his feature film, Desire Will Set You Free, yesterday. They demonstrated exceptional interviewing skills in the German language. I’m so proud of them! Think and Do! 🏳️‍🌈 @ncstate.bsky.social

In spite of all the professional chaos lately, I'm pleased to see this piece out today in early view and open access in Unterrichtspraxis. It's the culmination of a couple of years of writing and thinking about these issues, which are more important now than ever. Out in print later this year!

I just earned my PhD from UCSB and am excited to join NC State as Assistant Professor of German this fall. So grateful to my committee—Patrice Petro, Leila Rupp, Catherine Nesci, and Ervin Malakaj—for supporting my dissertation Queering the Archive: Transgender Identities in Weimar and Nazi Germany.

So thrilled to share my book chapter on amusement parks and queer sexualities in the Midwest—a piece very close to my heart, and rooted in my own coming out as a gay man from Germany thanks to my time in the Midwest over a decade ago. #LGBTQ #Pride #QueerStories #Gay #Love
