Megan Toddová sa vo svojej práci zameriava na zložité témy rodu, sexuality a násilia. Ako univerzitná prednášateľka vo svojom výskume skúma spôsoby, akými sa tieto sily prepletajú v ľudských vzťahoch. Jej analýzy sa často sústreďujú na intimitu a jej prepojenie s násilím, čím čitateľom ponúka hlbší vhľad do sociálnych dynamík. Toddová prostredníctvom svojho písania prispieva k akademickému porozumeniu kľúčových sociálnych otázok.
Profiles the world's most renowned sociologists and more than 100 of their biggest ideas, including issues of equality, diversity, identity, and human rights; the effects of globalization; the role of institutions; and the rise of urban living in modern society.
Sexualities and Society adopts a fresh, sociological perspective to explore the development of sexualities across both public and private spheres, giving thoughtful consideration to heterosexualities, cis, bi and trans identities. Divided into three parts, the book starts with an exploration into the history of sexuality, before covering the key theories, and how research into sexualities has been, and could be, conducted. Parts two and three examine how sexualities are framed by cultural factors and social institutions – including the media, religion, and politics – and considers the impact of how significant issues such as identity, age, health and violence relate to sexuality. Employing a range of international case studies, up to date policy developments, and engaging learning features such as ‘discussion points’ and ′fact file′ sections, this book is essential reading for students studying sexuality across sociology, social policy, social care, media, and politics.
