The tendency to monitor and evaluate using log frames and their variants closes policy makers’ and practitioners’ eyes to the s...

Over the course of the past thirty years, there has been an explosion of work on sexuality, both conceptually and methodologically.

This international and interdisciplinary collection identifies and locates struggles for recognition and inclusion in p...
