Greta LaFleur
I am Associate Professor of American Studies and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Yale University, where I teach and research eighteenth-century colonial North American history and culture, the history of science, the histories of race and racialization, the histories and historiography of gender and sexuality, and queer & trans studies. Johns Hopkins University Press published my first book, The Natural History of Sexuality in Early America, in 2018. I am also co-editor of two volumes: the first, Trans Historical: Gender Plurality Before the Modern, was published by Cornell UP in Fall 2021, and the second, Nineteenth-Century American Literature in Transition, Vol 1 is forthcoming with Cambridge UP in June 2022. My second book, How Sex Became Good: The Feminist Movements and Racial Politics that Made Modern Sexuality, is under contract with The University of Chicago Press, and my scholarship has appeared in Early American Literature, Early American Studies, American Quarterly, Criticism, The New Republic, GLQ, TSQ, The Journal of the Early Republic, and elsewhere. Finally, I am the co-editor of three journal special issues: a special issue of American Quarterly (September 2019, with Kyla Schuller) on "Origins of Biopolitics in the Americas"; a special issue of GLQ on "The Science of Sex 'Itself'" (forthcoming 2022, with Benjy Kahan); and a special issue of Transgender Studies Quarterly on "Trans Exclusionary Feminism and the Global New Right" (forthcoming 2022, with Serena Bassi).
