@misc { , title = {Religious faith and heterosexuality: a multi-faith exploration of young adults}, abstract = {This paper examines the understandings and practices of 515 heterosexual religious young adults living in the UK in terms of their religious faith and sexuality. It presents qualitative and quantitative data drawn from uestionnaires, interviews, and video diaries. Four themes are explored. First, participants generally understood sexuality in relation to sacred discourses. Second, regardless of gender and religious identification, the participants drew from religious (e.g. religious community) and social (i.e. friends) influences to construct their sexual values and attitudes. Third, the religious and familial spaces within which the participants inhabited were structured by heteronormative assumptions. Thus, the participants must negotiate dominant norms, particularly those pertaining to marriage and sex within it. Finally, the paper focuses on married participants, offering insights into their motivations for, and experiences of, marriage. Overall, the paper demonstrates that, like their lesbian and gay counterparts, heterosexual religious young adults also had to manage various competing and mutually-reinforcing sexual and religious norms in constructing a meaningful life.}, doi = {10.1163/9789004272385}, isbn = {9789004272255}, note = {Email from Stephanie Paalvast@Brill to Andrew Yip. 10/05/2016 24 month embargo waivered. Dear Andrew, Thanks for enquiring. We have an embargo period of 24 months in place, but given that publication is almost precisely 24 months ago…feel free to go ahead.  Email from Stephanie Paalvast@Brill to KJH 17/05/2016 publisher's pdf can be used. "In this case, I am thinking the best way to proceed, by way of total exception, is for us to allow Andrew and you to upload the PDF rather than the peer reviewed manuscript after all. The error is mine and Brill’s entirely; however, Andrew is correct in assuming I have already given legal consent with the e-mail message that I sent out previously."}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/727962}, volume = {25}, keyword = {Heterosexuality, multi-faith, sexuality, religious faith, heteronormativity, marriage.}, year = {2014}, author = {Yip, Andrew Kam-Tuck and Page, Sarah-Jane} editor = {Piedmont, Ralph L. and Village, Andrew} }
