I’m so honored that my book Sex Dolls at Sea: Imagined Histories of Sexual Technologies has been selected for the 2023 Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award! The Anne Friedberg award “recognizes the best new scholarly work that exemplifies rigorous, interdisciplinary and theoretical inquiry into issues of vision and visuality.”
Sex Dolls at Sea is a project that is near and dear to my heart, so this really means a lot. Writing it required a ton of research but also a journey of learning new methods and really challenging myself as a scholar. I’m proud of the result–this strange book about sex dolls and sailors and the way we tell history–and so glad that other people are enjoying it too.
