This far-reaching and contemporary new Encyclopedia examines and explores the lives and experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) individuals, focusing on the contexts and forces that shape their lives.

The work focuses on LGBTQ issues and identity primarily through the lenses of psychology, human development and sociology, emphasizing queer, feminist and ecological perspectives on the topic, and addresses questions such as:

 

·         What are the key theories used to understand variations in sexual orientation and gender identity?

·         How do Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA) affect LGBTQ youth?

·         How do LGBTQ people experience the transition to parenthood?

·         How does sexual orientation intersect with other key social locations, such as race, to shape experience and identity?

·         What are the effects of marriage equality on sexual minority individuals and couples?

 

Top researchers and clinicians contribute to the 400 signed entries, from fields such as:

 

·         Psychology

·         Human Development

·         Gender/Queer Studies

·         Sexuality Studies

·         Social Work

·         Sociology

 

The SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Studies is an essential resource for researchers interested in an interdisciplinary perspective on LGBTQ lives and issues.

Abbie Goldberg, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology and Director of Women’s and Gender Studies at Clark University. She received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A central theme of her research is the decentering of any “normal” or “typical” family, sexuality, or gender, to allow room for diverse families, sexualities, and genders. For 15 years, Dr. Goldberg has been conducting a longitudinal study of adoptive families headed by female, male, and heterosexual couples. Dr. Goldberg also conducts research on the higher educational experiences of trans and gender-nonconforming individuals. She recently completed a longitudinal study of postpartum well-being in women with diverse sexual histories. She is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed articles and two books: Gay Dads (NYU Press, 2012) and Lesbian- and Gay-Parent Families (APA, 2010). Her forthcoming book is Open Adoption in Diverse Families (Oxford, 2020). She is the co-editor (with Katherine Allen) of LGBT-Parent Families: Innovations in Research and Implications for Practice (Springer, 2013), with a 2nd edition currently underway, and the editor of the SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Studies (SAGE, 2016). She is also the co-editor (with Adam Romero) of LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship Dissolution (Oxford, 2019). Her books have received numerous awards. She has received research funding from the American Psychological Association, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Williams Institute, the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, the National Institutes of Health, and the Spencer Foundation.
