I co-authored with Craig Willse “Freedom in a Regulatory State?: Lawrence, Marriage and Biopolitics” publisehd in Widener Law Review in 2005. You can read it here.
Abstract
This paper attempts to trace the links between the Lawrence v. Texas decision and campaigns for gay marriage rights in order to envision movements that seek justice for more than just the most racially and economically privileged lesbians and gay men.

Transecting the Academy, with Sel Wahng
I co-authored with Sel Wahng “Transecting the Academy” in GLQ: A Journal of Gay and Lesbian Studies in 2004. You can read the full text online or download it here.
Abstract
This piece, co-authored with Sel Wahng, was part of a set of essays published together under the title “Thinking Sex/Thinking Gender.” In this article, we explore how identity politics that underwrite many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender discourses have proved limiting in regard to potential political alliances and social change. We address this concern by looking at the questions under consideration in this forum through a particular lens: how bodies and identities interact and intersect with modern formations of power. Through this mode of inquiry we seek to relate supposedly disparate elements for the purpose of making new social, political and scholarly connections.
