OAH John D'Emilio LGBTQ History Dissertation Award to De Orio

At the recent meeting of the Organization of American Historians, another major prize went to a legal historian: Scott De Orio (currently a post doctoral fellow at Northwestern University) received the John D'Emilio LGBTQ History Dissertation Award for “Punishing Queer Sexuality in the Age of LGBT Rights." De Orio completed his dissertation at the University of Michigan under the direction of advisers Matthew Lassiter [Chair], David Halperin, Gayle Rubin, and William Novak.

Congratulations to Dr. De Orio!
