Is the closet opened?: sexual diversity studies in El Salvador

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract:

This paper aims to analyze 39 academic papers on different themes about sexual diversity produced 1988-2015. The analysis is based on four pairs: Sexual practices/Bodies, Marriage/Families, Identities/Prejudice and Rights/Citizenship. Based on that, we propose new themes for investigation and reflections about the challenges within the Salvadoran higher education to build the field of Sexual Diversity Studies. In conclusion, despite the existence of 39 papers - which are a step forward -, the closet of the Salvadoran Academy is still closed, and therefore a question arises: how can we open it?
