Kadji Amin is Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Emory University, and was a Cornell Society for the Humanities Fellow for 2023-4. He earned a PhD from Duke University and has held fellowships from the Mellon foundation and the Humanities Institute at Stony Brook University.

Kadji is the author of Disturbing Attachments: Genet, Modern Pederasty, and Queer History (Duke University Press, 2017),[1] which won an Honorable Mention for the Alan Bray Memorial Award for best book in LGBT studies. We have cited Amin's work across various pages here, such as our in-depth page on historic links between MAPs and LGBT groups, and our page on censorship. Kadji is also author of "Keyword 5: Pedophile" (2019), part of the special issue of differences : A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies titled "Sexual Politics, Sexual Panics."[2]

Kadji's book on famous French writer Jean Genet (1910–1986), Disturbing Attachments (2017), has been widely reviewed and discussed in academic journals. Prue (Editorial Lead: Social History and Critical Theory), wishes to draw readers' attention to Prof. Mairead Hanrahan's review of the book in H-France Review (2018),[3] and Amin's response.[4]
