Amy Spring and I examine 2020 U.S. Census data and find that segregation trends for same-sex households has continued to decline. “New Evidence From Census 2020 on the Residential Segregation of Same-Sex Households: A Research Note.”

From colleagues to coeditors and coauthors – I’m delighted to share a new publication with Seth Abrutyn: “Renewal without replication: Expanding Durkheim’s theory of disruptions via queer nightlife.” Durkheim goes to his favorite gay bar only to find that it’s closed. Now where does he go…? This article is open access. 

Delighted to announce my new publication in Mediapolis, an online and open-access journal about cities and culture. In “Emplaced Bars and Episodic Events,” I reflect on new nightlife forms. The article is part of a special issue on “New Directions in Queer Nightlife,” co-edited by Johan Andersson and Jamie Hakim.

My graduate student Tori and I advance an interactional framework for studying intersectional identities: “Retheorizing Intersectional Identities with the Study of Chinese LGBTQ+ Migrants.”

I had the pleasure of speaking on NPR‘s Marketplace Morning Report, a program heard by 10 million weekly listeners across the United States. Sabri Ben-Achour is an excellent interviewer, who cut to the core of the issues in our sharp, 5 minute conversation. Listen to us chat about cultural and economic changes in queer nightlife.

The Nation reviewed my book! Daniel Felsenthal writes, “The book feels like a satellite image of London at night, with far-flung parties gleaming mostly on the edges, bright nodes in a darkened expanse. Ghaziani renders a complex picture of how going out as a queer person is changing; his approach to the topic, at once intimate and meticulous, ultimately enables his own perspective to shine through. Refreshingly, Long Live Queer Nightlife refuses anguish—Ghaziani’s jubilation at the emergence of the new outweighs his sorrow at the molting of the old.”
