Sexuality and Our Diversity: Integrating Culture with the Biopsychosocial v2.1

By Marcus Tye

Published: July 2020
Discipline: Sociology Textbooks
ISBN (Digital): 978-1-4533-3567-3

Sexuality and Our Diversity: Integrating Culture with the Biopsychosocial, v. 2.1 takes an integrated approach to exploring the complex dimensions of biology, culture, psychology, sociology, history, and philosophy that explain human sexual diversity. The author contextualizes specific topics, such as sexually transmitted infections, in a broader picture of comprehensive sex education and public policy, access to healthcare, and economic equality. Topics build from basic to advanced to support less well-prepared students while keeping those with prior coursework fully engaged.
