• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally submitted as his doctoral dissertation, Gender and Sexual Identity at College has been praised for its compelling argument against the research literature on gay male sexual identity development within the college culture. Here, Chris Holland explores how gay male students at a traditional women's university find themselves more concerned about their gender identity than their sexual orientation identity. Understanding how the college culture can impact sexual orientation identity development as a gay man himself, Holland listened to stories of gay male undergraduates at a small traditional women's university who were faced with an interesting identity crises--getting acknowledged as men within a dominant femal culture while still finding fellowship and support as gay men within the college culture. Holland's extraordinary research brings fully to life the experiences of gay men at a traditional women's university and asks the questions--how does the college culture impact these students' development and how does these students' experiences impact the culture in return?
