Neither ‘incel’ nor ‘volcel’
Amidst a proliferation of popular and academic interest in the celibacy and abstinence practices of men, women's sexual abstinence has not received the same attention. This paper is one of the only papers to empirically address women's sexual abstinence, and the first in almost thirty years. I provide a context of how, in early feminist thought, women's sexual abstinence had been theorised - and practiced - as liberatory, which is frequently left…
Asexuality and epistemic injustice
Drawing on original qualitative research, I argue that the concept of ‘epistemic injustice’ proposed by the feminist philosopher Miranda Fricker, and located within a long genealogy of Black feminist scholarship, can be used sociologically to help understand the lived experiences of asexual people. I show how participants’ accounts of their asexual subjectivities were frequently denied, dismissed and over-written. However, I argue that these expe…
Researching 'non-sexualities' via creative notebooks
This article contributes to and extends critical scholarship on the philosophy and practical application of creative methods. I suggest that claims commonly made regarding the 'potential' of creative methods can be (re)organised as claims relating to (1) epistemology, (2) embodiment and (3) empowering participants. I evaluate these claims through the contextual lens of a research project on 'non-sexualities' wherein I incorporated a creative elem…
Hearing, Policing, and Using Gender Diversity
This article comprises a critical reflection on our experiences of recruiting participants and organising focus groups through institutional gatekeepers for research about young people and changing gendered landscapes. We show how reflections on the research process can give (inadvertent) substantive insight into how gender is interpreted by gatekeepers in institutions - that is, gender as only about or for certain young people; gender as somethi…
Trailblazing the gender revolution? Young people's understandings of gender diversity through generation and social change
Against a backdrop of increasing cultural visibility of people who identify across, between or beyond the categories of male and female, young people have been positioned within the wider social imaginary as radical trailblazers for a new, progressive gender order. This paper provides original insights that empirically ground and interrogate such claims. Drawing on findings from focus group interviews held with 136 young people (aged 16–24) in th…
Queer liveability
This article explores queer religious youths’ engagement with the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) – a church founded as a space of worship for LGBT Christians. Interested in sources of well-being in queer people’s lives, we show how MCC provided young religious queer people with a sense of home, family, and a phenomenological experience of ‘fit’ and ‘ease’. We connect to literature on the subjectivization of religion and suggest that MCC is a…
When We Talk about Gender We Talk about Sex
Gender diversity is seemingly prevalent among asexual people. Drawing on qualitative research, and focusing on agender identities in particular, this article explores why this might be the case. I argue that previous explanations that center biologistic understandings of sexual development, the liberatory potential of asexuality, or psycho-cognitive conflict, are insufficient. Instead, I offer a sociological perspective in which participants' age…
You Have to be Normal to be Abnormal
This article explores the intersection of asexuality and disability by means of a qualitative study with asexual-identified disabled persons. The article discusses the ways in which the asexual community is normatively constructed. Although figured as disabled-friendly, the findings suggest that this is conditional on the denial of any causal links between asexuality and disability, and that this can be thought of in terms of the construction of …
Excavations at Castle of Wardhouse, Aberdeenshire
Advanced plough erosion prompted rescue excavation at the moated site of Castle of Wardhouse in1988.An integrated programme of work involving aerial photography, field survey, remote sensing, palynological analysis and excavation enabled interpretation of the complex development of the site in its historic environment (beyond this, palynology indicates human intervention in the environs since at least 5000 BP).The defences of the 13th-century moa…
