For #WorldAIDSDay, I wrote for @vogue.com.web.brid.gy about what we’re up against these next four years and how we should refuse to acquiesce. Between persisting inequities and an AIDS denialist nominee, we’ve got our work cut out for us—so let’s get to it. www.vogue.com/article/worl...

My third book Songs of Seven Dials: An Intimate History of London in the 1920s and 1930s will be published as part of MUP's trade series next autumn.
Like the title suggests, it's a new history of the 1920s and 1930s - told through the stories of a place and its people.

My first book Queer London: Perils and Pleasures in the Sexual Metropolis, 1918-57 explored how modern urban culture and markets in property, leisure, and labour shaped queer lives and communities between the Great War and the 1950s.

THE MALE GAZED (2023) and HELLO STRANGER (out Jan 14, 2025!) make for a lovely pair; twinned studies in masculinity and intimacy, respectively, that blend memoir and cultural criticism.
