Ken Plummer’s contributions to the study of sexualities and beyond

Abstract

This special issue pays tribute to and critically engages with the work of Ken Plummer, the founder of this journal. A distinguished sociologist who taught at the University of Essex for thirty years, Ken died last November, at age 76. We conceived of this issue two years ago, long before we anticipated his untimely death. Answering our call, several scholars offered considerations of the significance of his work.
