My next book, Disneyland and the Rise of Automation, will be out on April 21, 2026 with Princeton University Press. Read all about how technology created the ‘happiest place on earth’ and in the process made accessible the postwar factory’s systems. press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove…

As labels surrounding race, gender, and queerness continue to expand and adapt to the rapidly changing social landscape, @ProfBetancourt's Byzantine Intersectionality traces these important and timely discussions to the medieval world. New in paperback: hubs.ly/Q01Df1xR0

Byzantine Intersectionality, a fascinating history of marginalized identities in the medieval world, is out now in paperback! @ProfBetancourt addresses how current discussion on gender, sexuality, and race can be traced back to medieval thought. #POC #LGBT hubs.ly/Q01Bn-040
