James Nee is a transfer senior and a History and Russian Studies double major. In addition to his studies, he works as a research assistant at UCLA’s Department of History, as a student worker in the International Institute, and as a personal digital archivist for a law professor at USC. James grew up around people in recovery, attended an underfunded high school, and has a diverse and class-conscious group of friends. He is deeply interested in and connected to those who are marginalized, misunderstood, and forgotten by society. This interest, along with his sexual orientation, is why he is writing his honors thesis on the history of bisexuality in the modern United States. More specifically, he is researching the emergence and development of bisexuality as an identity unto itself, analyzing its ‘otherness’ vis-à-vis both the wider LGBT+ community and the cis-heterosexual mainstream.
