This inquiry has been ignited by successive waves of dramatic social change, chief among them: the re-emergence of feminist movements in the U.S. and Europe in the late 1960s; the sustained\u003cbr\u003e(and increasingly successful) bids for legal, social, and religious acceptance of non-heterosexual sexualities in many parts of the world; and the burgeoning number of people (whether cisgendered, gender-variant, trans, or questioning) whose individual and collective experiences of gender and\u003cbr\u003esexuality warrant deeper understanding and further progress toward a fuller realization of human potential and civil rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn psychology, the intellectual project of understanding gender, sex, and sexualities encompasses a variety of subfields spanning neuroscience and developmental, cognitive, social, and cultural psychology, as well as critical theory. As such, these approaches have inspired new and different\u003cbr\u003epsychological questions, as well as increased interest in previously unfamiliar topics of investigation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by Nancy K.
