Regina Kunzel is the Larned Professor of History and Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University. Her research focuses on 20th-century U.S. history, with a particular emphasis on gender, sexuality, psychiatry, and incarceration. She holds a BA from Stanford University and a PhD from Yale University. Prior to Yale, she taught at Williams College, the University of Minnesota, and Princeton University.
Her work has been recognized with prestigious awards including the American Historical Association’s John Boswell Prize and the Lambda Literary Award. Kunzel’s scholarship interrogates the intersections of power, medicine, and identity, particularly how marginalized groups like queer and gender-nonconforming individuals navigate psychiatric systems and carceral policies.

She has held fellowships from organizations such as the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and the Social Science Research Council.
