Gilbert H. Herdt (born February 24, 1949) is Professor of Human Sexuality Studies and Anthropology and a Founder of the Department of Sexuality Studies and National Sexuality Resource Center at San Francisco State University. ==Biography== Herdt is a gay activist who has taught at Stanford University, the University of Chicago, the University of Amsterdam, and the University of Washington. In 2000, Herdt cofounded the Institute on Sexuality, Social Inequality and Health that studies all forms of sexuality and discrimination that affect community building, sexual culture and sexual health. He specializes in sexuality and gender identity-based cultures. His studies of the 'Sambia' people — a pseudonym he created — of Papua New Guinea analyzes how culture and society create sexual meanings and practices. The Sambia are unique in that in the past they require males to undergo three specific sexual phases in their lives. Boys must provide sexual service to young men, adolescents must then receive oral sex from boys, and males enter adulthood by becoming heterosexual.〔Herdt, Gilbert. Guardians of the Flutes. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1981.〕 In the United States, Herdt has also studied adolescents and their families, the emergence of HIV and gay culture, and the role that social policy plays in sexual health. He has written and edited some 30 books, and more than 100 scientific papers. He is also the general editor of ''Worlds of Desire'', and an associate editor of ''Journal of Culture, Sexuality, and Health'', ''Journal of Men and Masculinities'', and ''Transaction: Journal of Social Science and Modern Society''.〔(Trauma, Culture, and the Brain Conference )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gilbert Herdt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
