Established in 1990, the Journal of the History of Sexuality (JHS) illuminates the history of sexuality in all its expressions, recognizing various differences of class, culture, gender, race, and sexual orientation. Spanning geographic and temporal boundaries, JHS provides a much-needed forum for historical, critical, and theoretical research in this field. Its cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary character brings together original articles and critical reviews from historians, social scientists, and humanities scholars worldwide.

Founded in 1950, the University of Texas Press publishes over 90 books per year and 11 journals in a wide range of fields. In addition to publishing the results of original research for scholars and students, UT Press publishes books of more general interest for a wider public. It also has a special obligation to the people of Texas to publish authoritative books on the history, culture, arts, and natural history of the state and region.
