Crozier completed his PhD entitled "Writing a book about sex: Havelock Ellis and the construction of medical discourses about homosexuality in England, 1850-1900" in the School of Science and Technology Studies, UNSW, in 2000. He then held a research fellowship at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College London from 2000 to 2003. He has also been a lecturer at the University of Sydney, Australia, and an Assistant Professor at the European College of Liberal Arts in Berlin. He is currently a lecturer in the Science Studies Unit at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests include the history of sexology, and to this end he has recently completed a manuscript entitled "Constructing Sexual Inversion: Havelock Ellis, Homosexuality, and the Emergence of Sexology," which is a large revision of his PhD, including attention to European and American material as well as English sexological works. He is currently pursuing an interest in forensic psychiatry. Essays on topics related to the history of sexology have been published in Social History of Medicine, Medical History, History of Psychiatry, Journal of Victorian Culture, Journal of the History of Sexuality, History of Science, Journal of Family History, The International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, and an essay on the emergence of sexology translated in Cahiers du genre. In 2004 a co-edited collection (with Christopher Forth) entitled Body Parts: Critical Engagements with Corporeality is due out from Lexington Books.
