Meyer, an associate professor at the University of Southern California, has been awarded the annual prize for his book Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art (Oxford University Press, 2002), which was recognized by a jury of scholars for its groundbreaking historical analysis of the relationship between homosexuality and censorship in American art from 1934 through 2000.
