Abbie Goldberg, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology and Director of
Women’s and Gender Studies at Clark University. She received her
Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Massachusetts

“normal” or “typical” family, sexuality, or gender, to allow room
for diverse families, sexualities, and genders.
For 15 years, Dr. Goldberg has been conducting a longitudinal study
of adoptive families headed by female, male, and heterosexual
couples. Dr. Goldberg also conducts research on the higher
educational experiences of trans and gender-nonconforming
individuals. She recently completed a longitudinal study of
postpartum well-being in women with diverse sexual histories. She
is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed articles and two
books: Gay Dads (NYU Press, 2012) and Lesbian- and
Gay-Parent Families (APA, 2010). Her forthcoming book
is Open Adoption in Diverse Families (Oxford, 2020). She
is the co-editor (with Katherine Allen) of LGBT-Parent
Families: Innovations in Research and Implications for
Practice (Springer, 2013), with a 2nd edition currently
underway, and the editor of the SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ
Studies (SAGE, 2016). She is also the co-editor (with Adam
Romero) of LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship
Dissolution (Oxford, 2019). Her books have received numerous
awards. She has received research funding from the American
Psychological Association, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the
Williams Institute, the Society for the Psychological Study of
Social Issues, the National Institutes of Health, and the Spencer
Foundation.
"An array of LGBTQ issues— marriage equality, housing equality,
family, employment, crime, health, and more—are discussed. This
diversity leads to a strong overall picture… The research compiled
in The SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Studies is invaluable to
supporting key political and legislative decisions… This book is an
excellent introductory resource for LGBTQ studies at the
undergraduate level, and is also nuanced enough for graduate
studies. Scholarly fields of study may include anthropology, family
studies, law, LGBTQ studies, and sociology. This volume is a great
resource for LGBTQ people and activists. Highly recommended."

"...A thoughtful, comprehensive, and well-researched reference set.
The SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Studies fills the need for a
scholarly and authoritative background source that both
undergraduates and more advanced scholars can turn to with
confidence. Professionals working in LGBTQ related fields, as well
as interested lay readers seeking reliable up-to-date information,
will also be well served when consulting its pages."
*Against The Grain*
"...An extensive array of subject experts have contributed the
signed articles...A user seeking information about HIV/AIDS, for
example, will discover numerous articles in the set about families′
social support for those with the disease and treatments of
racial/ethnic disparities, as well as general health-related
topics...The many unique topics that characterize this
comprehensive resource—also available on the publisher′s SAGE
Knowledge ebook platform (CH, Mar′13, 50-3587)—lend an unparalleled
frankness and timeliness to the encyclopedia, which complements
rather than replaces comparable works in library collections
serving sex and gender studies programs or professionals." --E. M.
