Megan Todd is Senior Lecturer and Course Leader in Sociology at the University of Central Lancashire. Her research focuses on sexualities, gender and violence; she has published on issues relating to intimate partner violence, ageing, health, feminisms and homophobic and misogynist abuse online. Megan has been involved in a range of research projects, including LGBT+ domestic abuse service users in Lancashire. More recently, she is developing work on universities’ management of their LGBT+ heritage. She has been teaching sociology in Higher Education for nearly two decades, prior to which she taught English literature at secondary school.

Todd′s textbook is simply what I was looking for. It gives students a introduction to the study of human sexuality from a sociological perspective. It′s straightforward and easy to understand.
