Mathew Kuefler
Mathew Kuefler (Yale, 1995) is a broadly trained Medievalist with specialties in the Early Middle Ages, the Mediterranean in Late Antiquity and what would become France and England in the Barbarian Era. His scholarship focuses on gender and sexuality, as well as the history of childhood and the family, and gay and lesbian history. He has published The Manly Eunuch: Masculinity, Gender Ambiguity, and Christian Ideology in Late Antiquity (Chicago, 2001), which was awarded the Margaret Wade Labarge Award by the Canadian Society of Medievalists. He is also the editor of The Boswell Thesis: Essays on Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality (Chicago, 2005) and The History of Sexuality Sourcebook (Broadview, forthcoming). At present, he is working on a book-length study of the life of a tenth-century French saint, tentatively entitled The Memory of Gerald of Aurillac: Reading Medieval Hagiography as Doubt, Regret, Fantasy, and History. He is also the Editor of the Journal of the History of Sexuality.
