SGP is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on the social, political, and cultural dimensions of sexuality, as well as policy-relevant research on issues related to sexual health, sexual rights, and sexuality education. The open access journal seeks to further expand opportunities for scholars to publish fully-rounded research on the historical development of sexuality and gender studies, current topics and methods in the field, and cutting-edge debates on theories and issues focusing on sexuality, gender, culture, and policy. It aims to examine and expand traditional definitions and boundaries within the realm of gender and sexuality, while acknowledging conditions of inequality, marginality, and post-coloniality. It is an interdisciplinary journal that welcomes articles from an array of disciplines. It aims to become an academic tool, publishing articles, reviews, syllabi, and other scholarly comments on the growing areas of sexuality and gender. It covers the social sciences, cultural history, cultural anthropology, public policy, as well as queer theory, feminist, gender, and LGBT studies.
