Reviews
"Singular Selves, crucially underscoring that singleness is a viable way of being which deserves further scholarly attention, is a timely, vibrant, and politically engaged collection that promises to make a vital contribution to the growing interdisciplinary field of Singles Studies."
Anthea Taylor, Associate Professor, Gender and Cultural Studies, The University of Sydney, Australia
"I am very excited to see this volume come to life documenting such an important conference and representing so many different perspectives on singlehood. My hope is this book will stimulate the increasing research interest that the study of singlehood deserves."
Geoff Macdonald, PhD, Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, Canada
"In this ground-breaking collection of essays, Ketaki Chowkhani and Craig Wynne provide a foundation for Singles Studies and a roadmap for future analysis. With the increasing number of single people around the world, this book offers a fascinating, timely, and interdisciplinary look at how singlehood is viewed in a variety of contexts. Singular Selves is a major contribution to the study of singlehood and promises to become a classic work in this developing field of research and practice."
