Dr. Johnson's research focuses on the history of gender and sexuality in non-metropolitan America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is especially interested in the history of homosexuality in rural America and is currently completing a book manuscript on that subject.

Other areas of interest include 19th and 20th century US literature, the history of agriculture and the environment, queer theory, psychoanalytic theory, and film and media studies.
