Historian at Northwestern. She/they. Wrote a book about migration in post-45 🇩🇪; currently writing about airplanes and their passengers since 1945. Here to promote scholarship and post pictures of airports.
coming your way in January 2026! perversely proud that, as far as I can tell, this will be only the *second* article in JHistSex primarily about bisexuality.

good mail day. this was a hard chapter to write for reasons that will be obvious by the first sentence, but I'm proud of how it came out--and excited to read the other contributions.

unwittingly hiked to the estate of Philipp, Prince of Eulenburg-sadly the museum was closed, so I had to use the Kaiser's fountain to imagine myself into the scandal.

I'm writing another short piece on the history of the term "Wirtschaftsflüchtling/economic refugee," and hitting the digitized press archives. It's wild that the first time it appears in the FAZ it is to *criticize* deportation. This headline is from January 1966.

Patricia Hertel and Sasha Pack edited a special issue of the JMEH on "free movement" in postwar Europe, and I was delighted to contribute an article on the Italian organization FILEF. I also thought way too hard about how to translate the Treaty of Rome. doi.org/10.1177/1611...

The cheeriest thing I saw in the archives today. All the better since I am loving Phil Tiemeyer’s forthcoming book on JAT (and other things too).

Today’s accomplishment. Also read a deranged amount about Düsseldorf, Lagos, Heathrow, Colombo.
