Marie-Amelie George

I am an expert on gay and lesbian legal history and contemporary LGBTQ+ rights. My research has appeared in leading peer-reviewed and law review journals, and I am a three-time recipient of the Dukeminier Award, which recognizes the country's most influential sexual orientation and gender identity scholarship.

I currently teach at Wake Forest University School of Law. Prior to joining the Wake faculty, I was the Berger-Howe Fellow in Legal History at Harvard Law School. I also served as an Associate in Law at Columbia Law School, where I taught the Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic. I received my Ph.D in history from Yale University, and my J.D. from Columbia Law School, where I was Editor-in-Chief of the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law and a Kent Scholar. I also hold a M.St. in Women's Studies from the University of Oxford, where I was awarded a distinction on my thesis.
