Amy Spring and I examine 2020 U.S. Census data and find that segregation trends for same-sex households has continued to decline. “New Evidence From Census 2020 on the Residential Segregation of Same-Sex Households: A Research Note.”

From colleagues to coeditors and coauthors – I’m delighted to share a new publication with Seth Abrutyn: “Renewal without replication: Expanding Durkheim’s theory of disruptions via queer nightlife.” Durkheim goes to his favorite gay bar only to find that it’s closed.

Delighted to announce my new publication in Mediapolis, an online and open-access journal about cities and culture. In “Emplaced Bars and Episodic Events,” I reflect on new nightlife forms. The article is part of a special issue on “New Directions in Queer Nightlife,” co-edited by Johan Andersson and Jamie Hakim.
Social Problems
My graduate student Tori and I advance an interactional framework for studying intersectional identities: “Retheorizing Intersectional Identities with the Study of Chinese LGBTQ+ Migrants.”

Sabri Ben-Achour is an excellent interviewer, who cut to the core of the issues in our sharp, 5 minute conversation. Listen to us chat about cultural and economic changes in queer nightlife.
