Join us on December 7th from 12-1:30pm at UCLA Bunche Hall 6275 for a book talk with Margot Canaday as she discusses her new book, “Queer Career: Sexuality and Work in Modern America.” Lunch will be provided.

Margot Canaday, Princeton University Dodge Professor of History, is an award-winning historian who studies gender and sexuality in modern America. She is the author of The Straight State: Sexuality and Citizenship in Twentieth Century America (Princeton, 2009) and co-editor of Intimate States: Gender, Sexuality, and Governance in Modern U.S. History (Chicago, 2021). Her book, Queer Career: Sexuality and Work in Modern America (Princeton, 2023), explores the ways that the workplace has mattered for queer people over time, both as a site of vulnerability and exploitation but sometimes also of deep meaning.
