While hook-up culture on university campuses represents a part of the story, it is only part of the story. It is important to add to this and investigate the way the university itself brokers and seeks out specific forms of sexuality, sex, and connection amongst students. This book sheds light on how the university as an institution endorses certain forms of sociality, sexuality, and coupling, while excluding others. Building on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this book furthers the discussion on the impact these institutional measures have on students, and how students work through and around them – while simultaneously establishing relations outside of and beyond hooking-up.

"This book offers a profound analysis of homosociality, an authentic critique of universities, and an upclose look into the lives of a subset of college men. I believe this book has the power to impact praxis for many student affairs practitioners and higher education administrators by allowing these professionals the opportunity to take a hard look at their practices and seek to gain a better understanding of their role in perpetuating heteronormativity on college campuses. This work is important in an age of increasing diversity on college campuses. I look forward to seeing the impact this text has on the landscape of higher education." - Journal of Critical Scholarship on Higher Education and Student Affairs

"Rich with ethnographic depth and insight, and theoretically sophisticated, Karioris’s An Education in Sexuality and Sociality: Heteronormativity on Campus is a must read for any who wish to understand the lives of young men in college outside of domineering narratives of violence, pack-bonding, and assault. Karioris challenges current understandings of homosociality theory that often paint men as violent, aggressive, and sexual predators. He brings to light new ways in which we can theorise and understand men’s friendships and intimate ties." - Sexualities: Studies in Culture and Society

"This work is necessary for higher education professionals to put a critical eye to longstanding traditions, practices, and policies and recognize our role in perpetuating heteronormativity and masculine hegemony on college campuses. . . . This work offers higher education professionals an analytical lens to view university practices related to residence life, programming, policies, and campus environments. . . this work provides much value to higher education and student affairs scholarship by providing honest critique through the lens of another discipline." - Journal of Critical Scholarship on Higher Education and Student Affairs

"An Education in Sexuality and Sociality: Heteronormativity on Campus contributes to research on male identity, masculinity, and homosociality. It would be particularly useful for scholars interested in gender, homosociality, identity development, and ethnographic fieldwork." - Gender & Society
