In bringing together the contributions that make up this Handbook, we have worked hard to develop a text that offers a scholarly yet accessible overview of the diverse and rapidly developing field of sexuality studies today. In doing so, we have sought not to privilege any one particular perspective but rather to offer an up-�todate overview of the field of sexuality, health and rights. By describing past origins, present trends and future possibilities, we want to offer readers insight into an area of work that has captured our own imaginations for many years now.
