About the Author
Judith Stacey is a distinguished sociologist and author renowned for her incisive explorations of family, marriage, and societal norms across diverse cultures. A professor emerita at New York University, she has spent decades challenging conventional views on love and kinship through rigorous research and compelling narratives. In her acclaimed work, Unhitched: Love, Marriage, and Family Values from West Hollywood to Western China (NYU Series in Social and Cultural Analysis, 7), Stacey juxtaposes progressive queer families in California with traditional practices in rural China, revealing the fluidity of family values in a globalized world. Her scholarship bridges academia and public discourse, advocating for inclusive understandings of intimacy and social change while critiquing the heteronormative biases embedded in policy and culture.
