New Book - Being a Sperm Donor: Masculinity, Sexuality, and Biosociality in Denmark (Berghahn 2018)

                Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>I just wanted to circulate information on my new book "Being a Sperm Donor:
<br>Masculinity, Sexuality, and Biosociality in Denmark", which is now available
<br>through the Berghahn website: https://berghahnbooks.com/title/MohrBeing
<br>
<br>The book revolves around the question what it means to be a man in a
<br>biomedical day and age. Through ethnographic explorations of the everyday
<br>lives of Danish sperm donors, Being a Sperm Donor explores how masculinity and
<br>sexuality are reconfigured in a time in which the norms and logics of
<br>(reproductive) biomedicine have become ordinary. It investigates men's moral
<br>reasoning regarding donation, their handling of transgressive experiences at
<br>the sperm bank, and their negotiations of gender, sexuality, intimacy, and
<br>relatedness, showing how the socio-cultural and political dimensions of
<br>(reproductive) biomedicine become intertwined with men's intimate sense of
<br>self.
<br>
<br>Please note that for the next two months Berghahn offers a limited time 50%
<br>discount on the paperback edition. You can use code MOH462 when you place an
<br>order via the Berghahn homepage by simply entering the code at checkout.
<br>
<br>And please excuse this shameless self-promotion.

<br>While most people address me with the pronouns he/him/his, I am thankful for
<br>communication that goes beyond a gender binary.
<br>
<br>I will do my best to meet accomodation needs in communication and personal
<br>meetings, so please approach me directly in regard to accessibility.
