Sex, Law and Society in the 21st Century provides a rich account of the high stakes associated with sex in the 21st century. The series forges beyond social taboos to offer meaningful and engaging social and legal analyses on matters at the forefront of civil liberties and civil rights discourses related to sex.
The books in this series address the legal and social multiplicities of sex—as a reference to people; as a descriptor of sexual activity, and as a complex demarcation of identity. Its authors will draw upon diverse approaches to law (and society) to rethink how and under what circumstances the law polices sex, protects sexual status, or remedies harms based on sex and to illuminate law’s inconsistencies, preferences, and failures. Grounding its work along the axes of social justice, engaging class, race, gender, religion, human rights and international law, and of course, sex, this series seeks to excavate untold stories and elevate those that deserve greater social attention and legal recognition.
The monographs sought for this series will engage multiple, diverse audiences. This includes academics in law, sociology, gender studies, critical race studies, politics and a range of intersecting disciplines. Equally, the series should be attractive to lay audiences and policy-oriented thinkers, bringing a meaningful socio-legal discourse to an intellectually curious readership.
