Dr.
Eric Anderson is an American sociologist at the University of Bath, England.
He is known for his research on sport, masculinities, sexualities and
homophobia. Dr. Anderson’s work shows an increasingly positive relationship
between gay male athletes and sport, as well as a growing movement of young
heterosexual men’s masculinity becoming softer and more inclusive. He also
researches matters related to men’s improving recognition of bisexuality, and
the increased acceptance of young heterosexual men kissing. He is currently
working on a book for Oxford University Press about why men cheat, and the
problems monogamy poses. Finally, he writes about distance running and
coaching. Dr. Anderson has
written dozens of academic journal articles and authored eight books. He
lives in Bath with his husband of thirteen years, Grant Tyler
Peterson and their four-legged running partner, Lewie.
