Queer Objects
Queer lives give rise to a vast array of objects, from home items to digital technology, but what makes an object queer? Queer Objects considers this question in a unique collection of essays from a collaboration of well-known and newer writers who transverse world history to write about items from ancient Egyptian tombs to today’s smartphone.

Compassionate Confinement
A Year in the Life of Unit C
This ethnographic text brings to light the challenges and complexities inherent in the U.S. system of juvenile corrections. Building on over a year of field work at a boys’ residential facility, the authors provide a context for contemporary institutions and highlight some of the system’s most troubling tensions. The book provides narratives, observations, case examples, and recommendations for rehabilitating the system. A detailed appendix on conducting field research is useful for individuals in the social sciences and helping professions.
