400 - Thematic Session. Former ASA Presidents Reflect on the Study of Sexuality

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

This session will examine how sexuality scholarship and other fields of sociology can learn from each other. Specifically, what insights from sexuality research might inform our understanding of culture, interaction, evolution, gender, diversity, political movements, social stratification, family, the internet and other important areas of society? And what broad social theories and social trends from outside sexuality research might fruitfully inform sexuality studies? Four former ASA Presidents will take on these broad issues.
