Margot Canaday (born ?) is an American historian and academic. She has been an assistant professor of History at Princeton University since 2008.
Canaday attended Washington High School (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) and received her B.A. in American Studies with highest disctinction from the University of Iowa in 1992. She received a M.A. in History from the University of Minnesota in 1997 and her Ph.D. from the same institution in 2004. [1]
Canaday published her first book The Straight State: Sexuality and Citizenship in Twentieth-Century America in 2009, which received positive reviews [2] [3] and several awards, including the OAH Ellis Hawley Prizem Lambda Literary Awardm and APSA Gladys Kammerer Award. [1] In this book, Canaday argues that the federal government's expansion in the mid-1900's coupled with new homosexual identities created policies institutionalizing heterosexuality. [4]
Canaday has also published several articles about gender and sexuality, including “Thinking Sex in the Transnational Turn: An Introduction,” [5] and “Heterosexuality as a Legal Regime." [6]
She is currently working on a project titled Perverse Ambitions, Deviant Careers: A Queer History of the Modern American Workplace, focusing on twentieth-century workplaces. [7] In addition to doing research, Canaday teaches history courses at Princeton University, where she is actively involved with American studies, gender and sexuality studies (GSS), and serves as a faculty member in residence.[8]
