"I believe it is important to share the results of my research with the public. This helps challenge homophobia, sexism and heterosexism, and helps improve standards of equality for everyone."

Professor Eric Anderson is an American sociologist at the University of Winchester, England. He is known for his research on sport, masculinities, sexualities and homophobia. He has been published in dozens of academic journals and is regularly featured in the popular press. His work shows an increasingly positive relationship between gay male athletes and sport, as well as a growing movement of young heterosexual men’s masculinity becoming softer and more inclusive. Professor Anderson also researches matters related to men’s monogamy and the function of cheating, men's improving recognition of bisexuality, and the increased acceptance of young heterosexual men kissing. He has written eight books, many of them award winners and best sellers. Professor Anderson has taught at UC-Irvine, CSU Long Beach, SUNY Stony Brook, and the University of Bath. He can be hired for consultancy or talks.
