Prize for Best article on the history of Sexuality
2004
Karen Duder, “Public Acts and Private Languages: Bisexuality and the Multiple Discourses of Constance Grey Swartz”, BC Studies, (Winter/hiver 2002/2003).
In selecting this article from a pool of particularly strong nominations, the jury highlighted the essays originality, offering as it does a way to think about the complexity of sexual identity in the past. The jury was also struck by the literary qualities of Constance Swartzs journals, something reflected in Duders own narrative, and which lends to the essay a personal, intimate voice too often lost in studies of sexual regulation.
