How do we uncover queer lives from the distant past, especially in an era when language and records often erased or obscured them?
What did queerness look like in early America, and how might it have intersected with power, religion, and empire on the eve of the American Revolution?
John McCurdy, a Professor of History and Philosophy at Eastern Michigan University and the author of Vicious and Immoral: Homosexuality, the American Revolution, and the Trials of Robert Newburgh, joins us to explore these questions through the remarkable story of British Army Chaplain Robert Newburgh.
