Launch of SexualityStudies.net
SexualityStudies.net is an innovative new online facility to connect people engaged in the study of human sexuality – researchers, teachers, students and those working in the field.
Produced as part of a project to develop a short course in sexuality theory and research methodology—a collaboration between ARCSHS and the International Association for the Study of Sexuality, Culture and Society (IASSCS), the website promises to be a central meeting point for researchers worldwide, a regularly-updated source of academic and general news related to the field, and a clearinghouse for sharing course materials and teaching resources with an international audience.
In addition to acting as a forum for the exchange of ideas and resources, SexualityStudies.net also presents an overview of the field of sexuality studies and research internationally. It does this on the basis of an international audit of existing courses and curricula.
You are invited to become a part of this project. Membership of SexualityStudies.net is free and open to anyone working in or engaged in studies related to the field. As a member, you’ll be able to search the extensive database of sexuality-related courses and research institutions, share teaching materials, join or host discussion groups on subjects of interest to you, and network with a growing community of colleagues around the world.

Islam, reproductive rights and health advocacy in Southeast Asia
Linda Bennett
This project aims to investigate the relationship between Islam and reproductive rights in Southeast Asia through an analysis of the interpretations of Islamic jurisprudence which promote Muslim women’s reproductive and sexual rights, and provide a basis for health advocacy; an investigation of how women’s reproductive choices are shaped by their Islamic identities; an analysis of the various roles, achievements and challenges for NGOs and informal religious organisations engaged in promoting women’s reproductive and sexual rights, and an examination of how Islamic discourses on sexuality and reproductive rights interact with wider human rights discourses in Indonesia and Malaysia. The project will also expand access to English language publications on Islam and reproductive rights through the translation and publication of key works by Southeast Asian scholars and activists.
Funding: La Trobe University Postdoctoral Fellowship
Status: Completed |
