About Averill Earls
I'm the Executive Producer of Dig: A History Podcast (we're a narrative history podcast, rather than interview-based), and an Assistant Professor of History at St. Olaf College. I'm a historian of Irish sexuality, specifically same-sex desire in the 19th and 20th centuries. This is a pretty narrow field, though, so I'm generally interested in European and American LGBTQ and sexuality history, Irish gender and sexuality, and policing history.Averill Earls is the Executive Producer of Dig: A History Podcast (a narrative history podcast, rather than interview-based), and an Assistant Professor of History at St. Olaf College.
