David M. Halperin is the W. H. Auden Collegiate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan and Honorary Professor in the School of Sociology at The University of New South Wales.

He is also the cofounder and coeditor of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies.
"In this subtle and provocative work, David M. Halperin carries his justly renowned scholarship about sexuality several steps further, articulating a view that balances a just appreciation of discontinuities with the recognition of connections across time and place. Refusing reductive characterizations, the sophisticated arguments in How to Do the History of Homosexuality emphasize heterogeneity and tension in the ancient world and our own, and the possibility of creative identification with the past." - Martha Nussbaum
