GRADUATE STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Meet Matthew Riemer!

Matthew Riemer is a Ph.D. student in the American Studies department. He received his B.A. in History from Middlebury College and his J.D. from University of Chicago. In 2016, while a practicing attorney, Matthew's extracurricular interest in queer history led him to co-create a popular online history resource (Instagram's @lgbt_history), and he later co-wrote We Are Everywhere: Protest, Power, and Pride in the History of Queer Liberation (Ten Speed Press/Penguin Random House, 2019). His research is on the production and use of queer history in the U.S.; tensions between radical queer resistance and neoliberal reformists; and the material realities of marginalized subcommunities subsumed by the monolithic politics of the "LGBTQ community."
