Teresa Cutler-Broyles and Kylo-Patrick Hart, is an interdisciplinary exploration of kink, BDSM, and non-normative sexualities, including perspectives from college campuses, to post-Communist Czech Republic, to Victorian England.
Upcoming from Emerald Interdisciplinary Connexions are two more books — Women and the Abuse of Power, ed. Helen Gavin, and Re-Imagining Spaces and Places, ed. Stefano Rozzoni, Teresa Cutler-Broyles, and Bietske Boonstra. Get excited!
