Gender Neutrality Project
I am currently writing a book that investigates how the concept of gender neutrality has been employed in the courts, in the news media, and in political activism on topics including gender-neutral restrooms, gender-neutral pronouns, gender-neutral identity documents, and gender-neutral parenting movements. To date, I have published papers from this project in Social Problems, Gender & Society (with Juliet A. Williams), Signs (with Juliet A. Williams) and in Law & Society Review (with with Juliet A. Williams and Mallory Rees) . I also published an op-ed on gender-neutral pronouns (with Juliet A. Williams) and a second op-ed on the topic (with with Juliet A. Williams, Robin Dembroff, and Daniel Wodak) in reply to a response to that original op-ed. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you cannot access any of these articles.
