An Education in Sexuality and Sociality

Heteronormativity on Campus. This book addresses the imbricated nature of sociality and sexuality and the entanglements this has with the university as an educating institution. Addressing these through empirical research, this book pushes for a more nuanced understanding of relations on campus. While hook-up culture on university campuses represents a part of the story, it is only part of the story. It is important to add to this and investigate the way the university itself brokers and seeks out specific forms of sexuality, sex, and connection amongst students. This book sheds light on how the university as an institution endorses certain forms of sociality, sexuality, and coupling, while excluding others. Building on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this book furthers the discussion on the impact these institutional measures have on students, and how students work through and around them – while simultaneously establishing relations outside of and beyond hooking-up.
