This is an excellent interdisciplinary book, capturing the complex, changing and multi-dimensional relationship between religion and sexuality. Page and Shipley are key international scholars in the field and intertwine their multi-sited research, over a 15-year period, illustrating religious-sexual citizenship, embodiment, practice, identity and more beyond enduring problematic binary thinking. An impressive range of methodological and theoretical approaches are used, framed in conversation with queer feminist perspectives, and returning the reader to intersectional endeavours and potentials. This book constitutes an extensive and impressive overview of where we are now, pushing important questions of what next? for sexuality and religion studies.

Yvette Taylor, University of Strathclyde, UK

This timely text provides a meticulous, in-depth and critical interrogation of a wide range of theories and methodologies on religion and sexuality, substantially enriched by empirical insights drawn from the authors own research projects. Offering a thorough mapping of the current terrain and authoritative directions for future research, this expansive and exhaustive text is a must-read for scholars investigating religion and sexuality.

Andrew Kam-Tuck Yip, University of Nottingham, UK

Building from their own research projects, Page and Shipley offer an innovative and inclusive approach to the study of religion and sexualities, where both central topics are seen as complex, lived, and multi-layered. Using a queer feminist lens, the book explores various regulatory relationships between sexualities and religion, moving beyond the straight time conceptions of the supposedly typical life pattern to an examination of how religion and sexualities intersect in multiple and often unpredictable ways, making this a substantial and valuable contribution to the expanding field of studies in religion and sexuality.

RELIGION AND SEXUALITIES

This book examines key themes and concepts pertaining to religious and sexual identities and expressions, mapping theoretical, methodological, and empirical dimensions. It explores the ways in which debates around sexuality and religion have been framed, and what research is still needed to expand the field as it develops. Through the deployment of contemporary research, including data from the authors own projects, Religion and Sexualities offers an encompassing account of the sociology of sexuality and religion, considering theoretical and methodological lenses, queer experiences, and how sexuality is gendered in religious contexts. This comprehensive text will act as an essential accompaniment to scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities, whether they have a general interest in the field or are embarking on their own research in this area.

Contents

This book has been made possible by the huge collaborative potential generated through the Religion and Society funded Religion, Youth and Sexuality project and the Religion and Diversity Project funded Religion, Gender and Sexuality among Youth in Canada project. Without these projects, we no doubt would not have met as soon as we did, nor have been enabled to meet so much as we have been able to. Indeed, these projects gave us the potential to develop a strong working relationship over a number of years to enable this book to come to fruition. As part of those projects, we are indebted to the Principal Investigators of those projects Prof. Andrew Kam-Tuck Yip in the UK and Prof. Pamela Dickey Young in Canada. Both have supported us unconditionally and have been invaluable in their guidance and mentorship over the years.

We are also grateful to the various professional associations and groups to which we belong. Sarah-Jane is thankful for the various spaces where she has been able to test ideas and debate issues within the discipline, such as the Sociology of Religion Study Group, the Maternal Identities Group, the Shiloh project, and the Australian Association of Buddhist Studies network. Heather is grateful to the Canadian Society for the Study of Religion, the Association for the Sociology of Religion, the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, and all the colleagues and friends who have shared their ideas, feedback, and support throughout the years.

We cannot name everyone who has helped us on this journey as the list could nearly fill a whole chapter (and keeping to the word count in this book has been a struggle!). But special thanks to all those in academia who have kept up our spirits when things have been challenging, often over a glass of wine or gin, and all of those people who enabled the projects we use in this book to be possible.

Personally, Sarah-Jane would like to thank her long-suffering family, especially for all the times she has worked evenings and weekends to meet the book deadline. Projects such as this are not solely the labour of the authors on the front of the book, but envelop those who enable the writing to be sustained. Sarah-Jane is especially grateful to her family in this regard.

Heather would personally like to thank her family, for daring to continue asking questions about what she is writing and for always responding with interest. Heather would also like to thank her partner, Peter, who has supported the process of the creation of this book and has experienced the endless hammering of typing over the course of its writing.
