The launch of sexualitystudies.net has been well received, with 163 users signed up to date. One of the key objectives of this project is to support the development of collegiate networks among people working in the field of sexuality studies, and by joining one or more of our online groups you've taken the first step on that path. This post is to encourage you to introduce yourself to other members of the group.

As our website is very new, there isn't a lot of activity in most of the groups, and understandably there is some reticence to be the first person to speak up in a group of strangers. So, if you've read this far, please post a comment in reply, mentioning who you are, what your interests are, and what you hope to get out of the sexualitystudies.net website.

In that spirit, let me be the one to start. My name is Paul Kidd, I'm the web developer for sexualitystudies.net and also the media and communications officer for NAPWA, the National Association of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Australia. As well as being a bit of a web geek, I'm interested in HIV and public policy, particularly the intersection of HIV transmission and the criminal law.

Over to you! (Click the 'Add new comment' link to introduce yourself.)
