Deconstructing the Myth of the ‘Naturally Sober’ Woman: Historical and Cultural Constructions of Women and Intoxication
This paper deconstructs the myth of the ‘naturally sober’ woman by tracing its historical and cultural construction in the US across four time periods: colonial, nineteenth century temperance, Prohibition, and post-Prohibition eras. Using a feminist historiographical lens, we explore how gendered narratives obscured women’s complex roles as alcohol consumers, producers, and distributors. Distinctions of class and space were crucial: working-class…
Trans Across Generations: Shifts in Narratives of Gender, Transphobic Violence, and Community Support
Comparing conceptions of gender, sexuality and lesbian identity between baby boomers and millennials
To answer this special issue provocation, Is Lesbian Identity Obsolete? we analyzed interviews with people who had identified at some point in their lives as lesbians, or as women/femmes who were attracted to women - some of them part of the Baby Boomer generation and some part of the Millennial generation. Participants from both generations rejected the gender binary. Nevertheless, we found a shift away from understanding gender as an oppressive…

Gendered perspectives on young adults, alcohol consumption and intoxication
Intersecting sexual identities, oppressions, and social justice work: Comparing LGBTQ Baby Boomers to Millennials who came of age after the 1980s Aids epidemic
In this study, we analyze 50 interviews with racially diverse, predominantly low‐income, LGBTQ participants living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rooted in intersectional theory that conceptualizes identities as shaped by interlocking forms of oppression and privilege, we compared interviews with “Baby Boomers” to those with “Millennial” participants, who came into adulthood in a time of greater legal and social inclusion for LGBTQ people. Our an…
Is Smoking Queer? Implications of California Tobacco Denormalization Strategies for Queer Current and Former Smokers
This article is concerned with normative conceptions of health structuring tobacco control strategies designed to "denormalize" tobacco use. Analysis of 201 interviews with non-heterosexual and/or non-cisgender adults in California revealed that participants implicated tobacco use in exacerbating health inequities and perpetuating harmful narratives of queer suffering, but also regarded smoking as a critical tool for self-care and symbol of resis…
Conceptualizing ethnicity in alcohol and drug research: Epidemiology meets social theory
Since the 1990s, social scientists have rejected notions of ethnicity as something static and discrete, instead highlighting the context-dependent and fluid nature of multiple identities. In spite of these developments, researchers within the substance use fields continue to assess ethnic group categories in ways that suggest little critical reflection in terms of the validity of the measurements themselves, nor the social, bureaucratic, and poli…
Taking Sides in E-cigarette Research
In the last ten years, an eclectic mix of electronic nicotine delivery products ('e-cigarettes') and practices have proliferated in the US with little restriction, producing a vast array of vaping mechanisms, flavors, and styles. At the same time, anti-tobacco movements have targeted e-cigarettes as a threat to public health and advocated for restricting e-cigarettes in much the same way as conventional cigarettes. While anti-vaping proponents as…
