| Danielle Currier, sociology professor |
A Randolph College sociology professor is featured in a
podcast by Gender & Society, a
peer reviewed journal on sociology and women’s studies.
In the podcast, Danielle Currier and an interviewer talk
about the book College Sex: Philosophy
for Everyone, Philosophers with Benefits. Currier recently wrote a review
of that book in Gender & Society,
and some of the interview focuses on her review.
Currier also discusses “Intentional Ambiguity: How
definitions of hooking up maintain boundaries of hegemonic masculinity and
emphasize femininity,” her forthcoming essay she for Gender & Society. The essay focuses on her research that shows that
men and women engaging in casual sex in college use different words to describe
their sexual activity.
“The way in which we label things and the words we give to
things are very important,” Currier says in the podcast. “When you’re talking
about sex and sexuality, the language that gets applied will help determine
whether it’s perceived as a positive, negative, or neutral thing.”
