Sexual Justice and the Future of Sexual Rights
This position paper introduces sexual justice as a transformative framework for addressing the systemic inequalities and inequities that shape global and local experiences of sexuality, health, and rights. While international frameworks have recognized sexual and reproductive rights as fundamental human rights, they remain unevenly realized, particularly for those who live at the intersections of socio-economic injustice, structural violence, and…
Categorical dilemmas
In Vietnam, HIV continues disproportionately to affect men who have sex with men and transgender women, and the increase in HIV prevalence in these populations may be related to a lack of tailoring of current prevention approaches, which often fail to address social diversity within these populations. To effectively respond to HIV in Vietnam, it is imperative to identify sub-populations within the broad category of 'men who have sex with men' (MS…

The Impact of Urban US Policing Practices on Black Men Who Have Sex with Men’s HIV Vulnerability
Gendered Social Institutions and Preventive Healthcare Seeking for Black Men Who Have Sex with Men
I Kick It to Both, but not in the Street
This article examines how behaviorally bisexual Latino men negotiate, modify, and perform their gender within distinct social spheres. An analysis was made of 148 sexual histories of Latino men aged eighteen to sixty, from a cross-sectional, multiyear study in New York City. A familial sphere of gender norm negotiation was sharply contrasted with conformity to elements of dominant or hegemonic forms of masculinity performed on streets of neighbor…
Social risk, stigma and space
Black men who have sex with men in the USA face disproportionate incidence rates of HIV. This paper presents findings from an ethnographic study conducted in New York City that explored the structural and socio-cultural factors shaping men's sexual relationships with the goal of furthering understandings of their HIV-related vulnerability. Methods included participant observation and in-depth interviews with 31 Black men who have sex with men (th…
Understanding Global Sexualities
Contributions of Qualitative Research in Informing HIV/Aids Interventions Targeting Black MSM in the United States
This article presents a systematic review of qualitative studies focusing on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) in the United States. We reviewed studies that were published between 1980 and 2014. Qualitative methods employed in the studies reviewed include in-depth interviews, focus groups, participant observation, and ethnography. We searched several dat…
Culture, Health and Sexuality
Comfortably, Safely, and Without Shame
In recent years, the menstrual hygiene management challenges facing schoolgirls in low-income-country contexts have gained global attention. We applied Gusfield’s sociological analysis of the culture of public problems to better understand how this relatively newly recognized public health challenge rose to the level of global public health awareness and action. We similarly applied the conceptualization by Dorfman et al. of the role of public he…
Heteronormativity and Sexual Partnering Among Bisexual Latino Men
Conceiving Sexuality
First Published in 1995. After widespread neglect over many years, the study of human sexuality has recently come to the forefront of many of the most important debates in contemporary society and culture. The continued development of feminist theory, the emergence of gay and lesbian studies, and the impact of the international AIDS pandemic have combined to focus new attention on the ways in which gender and sexuality are shaped in different soc…
Between Individual Agency and Structure in HIV Prevention
When HIV prevention targets risk and vulnerability, it focuses on individual agency and social structures, ignoring the centrality of community in effective HIV prevention. The neoliberal concept of risk assumes individuals are rational agents who act on information provided to them regarding HIV transmission. This individualistic framework does not recognize the communities in which people act and connect. The concept of vulnerability on the oth…
Understanding Global Sexualities
Over the course of the past thirty years, there has been an explosion of work on sexuality, both conceptually and methodologically. From a relatively limited, specialist field, the study of sexuality has expanded across a wide range of social sciences. Yet as the field has grown, it has become apparent that a number of leading edge critical issues remain. This theory-building book explores some of the areas in which there is major and continuing …
The United Nations High Level Meeting on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases
The United Nations High Level Meeting on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (September 19–20, 2011) provided an opportunity to recast the current global health agenda and offered a formidable platform to mobilize political will for concerted action. We argue that the opportunity was missed because the World Health Organization (WHO) neglected the politics of process that are key to mobilizing political support for global nonco…
The Catholic Church, moral doctrine, and HIV prevention in Recife, Brazil
Religious beliefs have had a key role in shaping local responses to HIV and AIDS. As the world's largest Catholic country, Brazil is no exception. Yet little research has been conducted to document how the religious doctrine is enacted in practice among its lay leaders and followers. In this article, we present ethnographic research from Recife, Brazil, conducted to understand the way in which religious doctrines are interpreted on a local level.…
Beyond Faith-Based Organizations
Religious institutions, which contribute to understanding of and mobilization in response to illness, play a major role in structuring social, political, and cultural responses to HIV and AIDS. We used institutional ethnography to explore how religious traditions—Catholic, Evangelical, and Afro-Brazilian—in Brazil have influenced HIV prevention, treatment, and care at the local and national levels over time. We present a typology of Brazil's divi…

Resource mobilization for health advocacy
Routledge Handbook of Sexuality, Health and Rights
The last two decades have witnessed an explosion of research on sexuality as the social sciences have worked to find new ways of understanding a rapidly changing world. Growing concern for issues such as population, women's and men's reproductive health, and the HIV and AIDS pandemic, has since provided new legitimacy for work on sexuality, health and rights. A detailed and up-to-date reference work, the Routledge Handbook of Sexuality, Health an…

Sexuality, Health and Human Rights
This new work surveys how rapid changes taking place at the start of the twenty-first century in social, cultural, political and economic domains impact on sexuality, health and human rights. The relationships between men, women and children are changing quickly, as are traditional family structures and gender norms. What were once viewed as private matters have become public, and an array of new social movements – transgender, intersex, sex work…
Condom Use and Hip Hop Culture
Objectives. We explored how young men’s perceptions of and participation in hip hop culture—urban social and artistic expressions, such as clothing style, breakdancing, graffiti, and rap music—and how contextual factors of the hip hop scene may be associated with their condom use, condom-use self-efficacy, and sense of community. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 95 African American and Latino men aged 15 to 25 years as part of a …

Sexual culture, HIV transmission, and Aids research
The spread of the international AIDS pandemic has drawn attention to the urgent need for data on human sexual behavior; yet the absence of an established tradition of theory and method in sex research has limited the development of initiatives in this area. This has been particularly evident in the lack of attention given to the ways in which cross‐cultural differences structure the meaning of sexual experience. While survey research can play an …

Over the course of the past decade, the intersection between sexuality and health has become a central focus of attention for researchers and activists from a range of diverse fields. Scientific disciplines and social movements that, until quite recently, might well have seemed to have little in common with one another, have increasingly merged in seeking to address the complex range of questions that have linked sexuality to health in the late t…

Bodies, Pleasures, and Passions
"Originally published in the early 1990s, Bodies, Pleasures, and Passions quickly became a classic ethnographic study of the social, cultural and historical construction of sexuality and sexual diversity. Drawing on extensive field research and interviews, together with the analysis of historical and literary texts, anthropologist Richard Parker mapped out the multiple cultural systems that structure gender, sexuality, and erotic practices in Bra…

Migration, Sexual Subcultures, and HIV/Aids in Brazil
By late 1993, the Brazilian Ministry of Health had recorded nearly 45,000 cases of AIDS-the highest number of cases reported in Latin America, and among the highest number anywhere in the world. Since its emergence little more than a decade earlier, the AIDS epidemic had taken shape as among the most serious public health problems in the country, and official estimates that more than 750,000 Brazilians are already infected with HIV suggest that t…

Framing the Sexual Subject
Framing the Sexual Subject
This book brings together the work of writers from a range of disciplines and cultural traditions to explore the social and political dimensions of sexuality and sexual experience. The chapters reconfigure existing notions of gender and sexuality, linking them to deeper understandings of power, resistance, and emancipation around the globe. They map areas that are currently at the cutting edge of social science writing on sexuality, as well as th…
