the story of sexual identity (2009, Oxford University Press)
​
This book assembles a diverse group of scholars working within a new, pathbreaking paradigm of sexual science, fusing perspectives from history, sociology, and psychology. The contributors are united in their commitment to the idea of "narrative" as central to the study of sexual identity, offering an analytic approach to social science inquiry on sexual identity that restores the voices of sexual subjects. The result is a rich examination of lives in context, with an eye toward multiplicity and meaning across the life course. Central to the chapters in this volume is the significance of history, generation, and narrative in the provision of a workable and meaningful configuration of identity.
BOOK SERIES
the oxford series on sexuality, identity & society
​
The purpose of this series is to foster creative scholarship on sexuality, identity, and society that (a) integrates an appreciation for the historical grounding of sexuality research, (b) seeks to transcend or integrate the boundaries constructed by disciplinary approaches, and (c) takes theoretical and methodological risks to move the field forward. As such we seek to solicit manuscripts that identify with a new kind of inquiry in sexuality research—one that moves us beyond questions of “origins” and “categories” toward the meaning of desire, experience, and identity in particular contexts.
