Bisexuality in Europe: Sexual Citizenship, Romantic Relationships, and Bi+ Identities


Add your own review!

Overview

Bisexuality in Europe offers an accessible and diverse overview of research on bisexuality and bi+ people in Europe, providing a foundation for theorising and empirical work on plurisexual orientations and identities, and the experiences and realities of people who desire more than one sex or gender Counteracting the predominance of work on bisexuality based in Ango-American contexts, this collection of fifteen contributions from both early-career and more senior academics reflects the current state of research in Europe on bisexuality and people who desire more than one sex or gender. The book is structured around three interlinked themes that resonate well with the international research frontiers of bisexual theorising: bisexual citizenship, intimate relationships, and bisexual+ identities. This book is the first of its kind in bringing together research from various European countries including Austria, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries, as well as from Europe as a wider geographical region.. Topics include pansexual identity, non-monogomies, asylum seekers and youth cultures. This is an essential collection for students, early career researchers, and more senior academics in Gender Studies, LGBTQI Studies and Sexuality Studies.

Reviews

"""A much needed anthology of bi+ research and theory, beyond the standard anglo-american focus. This book brings together a wealth of exciting and important chapters from a diverse range of locations and perspectives, with a particularly rich exploration of bi+ relationships of all kinds. A must-read for sexuality and relationship scholars."" — Meg-John Barker, author of The Bisexuality Report, The Psychology of Sex, and Sexuality: A Graphic Guide. ""Framed geographically as European, this collection is far-reaching in its relevance, challenges and insights. It takes us into the depth and breadth of excellent scholarship coming from both renowned established and ground-breaking emerging European scholars about bisexualities in Europe and bisexualities globally. Another strength of this collection is its embrace of the need to connect academia, advocacy, allyship and activism when addressing important issues such as asylum-seeking, religious repression, transphobia, bisexual health, sexual intimacies, misogyny and family diversity.."" — Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli, editor of Bisexuality in Education: Erasure, Exclusion by Inclusion, and the Absence of Intersectionality, author of Women in Relationships with Bisexual Men: Bi Men By Women"
