Biography
As a legal historian and an Academic Fellow at Columbia Law School, I write constitutional and statutory civil rights history from the perspective of social movements. My research in the LGBT and New Christian Right’s legal movements argues that public law conflict over gender and sexuality regulation shifted the distribution of public and private power in the late 20th century. My scholarship has been published or is forthcoming in California Law Review, Yale Law Journal, University of Chicago Law Review, and Law and History Review.
I received my JD from Yale Law School in 2020, and I am currently a PhD candidate in the Department of History and Program in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies also at Yale. In 2020-2021, I was a law clerk to the Hon. Guido Calabresi on the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. During law school, I helped found the LPE Blog, and served as the first Managing Editor.
Public scholarship is important to me. You can find my essays and book reviews about the history of sexuality, transgender politics, and constitutional law on the writing tab. My work and expertise has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, and the New Republic, among other media.
