Discipline:
History
Specialization:
I have long been fascinated by the social and cultural history of modern Russia and the Soviet Union. My primary publications focused on the history of sexualities and gender in modernising Russia and the Soviet republics, with a particular interest in the role of medicine and law in shaping how sexuality and gender were regulated. I have explored the history of homosexuality in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, the nature of masculinity under socialism, the problems of sexual disorder and sexual revolutions, and more recently the Soviet Gulag and the medical professionals who served in Stalin’s labour camps.
Current Research:
I am learning the Georgian language, and working on a book aimed at popular audiences on the history of modern Georgian culture. I am also working on a memoir, tentatively entitled 'Queer for Russia', that explores how my fascination with Russia and the Soviet Union entwined with my gay liberation activism in Canada and the UK in the 1970s-1990s.
