Sex, Risk, and Society

Cross-Disciplinary Insight: This concise volume offers a rich interdisciplinary approach: drawing from sociology, anthropology, history, and philosophy it explores when sex is deemed "abnormal" or "dangerous" and the broader cultural implications of those judgments. Enduring Relevance: By unpacking how definitions of sexual risk and normativity evolve, and their real-world consequences for agency, health, human rights, and gendered violence, the book presents a timeless framework for understanding contemporary and future social debates around sexuality. Academic Rigor with Broad Appeal: This volume combines strong scholarly credibility with accessible writing, making it an essential addition to academic trade catalogs and a compelling short read for educators, policy makers, and engaged general readers.
