William B. Turner

I hold a Ph.D. in U.S. history and a J.D. A Genealogy of Queer Theory is my dissertation book. Another book for which I was one of three coeditors is Creating Change: Sexuality, Public Policy, and Civil Rights. My particular interests as a historian include LGBT history, women's history, intellectual/cultural history, the history of feminism and feminist theory, and the history of public policy, especially civil rights policy.

My new book, The GOP Will Not Govern, describes how Republicans seek high office not to govern well, but in pursuit of ego gratification and enrichment for themselves and their cronies. The result is bad public policy.
