Greta LaFleur is Associate Professor of American Studies at Yale University. LaFleur is a scholar of eighteenth-century North America, and her work focuses on the histories of gender and sexuality, race and racialization, science and medicine, and law. LaFleur’s first book, The Natural History of Sexuality in Early America, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2018, and they are currently at work on a second monograph, tentatively titled A Queer History of Sexual Violence (under contract with the University of Chicago Press) on how efforts by women and feminist organizations to address the problem of sexual violence shaped the emergence of a modern, politicized sense of sexuality and sexual identity in the twentieth century.
