Sex & Sexualities (SS)
Journal Descriptions
Sex & Sexualities is an emerging biannual scholarly journal established by the American Sociological Association’s Section on the Sociology of Sexualities to provide a dedicated academic venue for high‑quality research on sex and sexualities from a critical sociological perspective. Launched with its first issues in 2025, the journal publishes peer‑reviewed theoretical, empirical, and interdisciplinary work that interrogates how sexual practices, identities, communities, and cultures are produced, regulated, and lived within complex social power systems. It fosters scholarship that centers intersectionality, including the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), transgender, non‑binary, agender, intersex, and other gender‑expansive people, as well as work examining sexuality in relation to race, class, ability, nationality, and other axes of difference. The journal encourages diverse methodologies and formats, including long and short articles, essays, and reviews, to explore topics such as sexual normativity, marginalization, institutional regulation of sexual lives, and the politics of sexual pleasure and resistance. By bringing critical attention to neglected and emerging dimensions of sexualities, Sex & Sexualities aims to broaden sociological theory and empirical inquiry, and to challenge conventional understandings of sex, desire, and intimacy in global and local contexts.
