Christopher Carrington is an Associate Professor of Sociology at San Francisco State University. Dr. Carrington's publications include: No Place Like Home: Relationships and Family Life among Lesbians and Gay Men. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2002. Dr. Carrington’s is currently finishing a book entitled: Circuit Boys: Into the World of the Gay Dance and Circuit Party Culture. This book is the result of a decade-long ethnographic study of the gay dance, rave and circuit-party scene and explores issues of sexuality, friendship, licit/illicit drug use/abuse, dance, collective behavior and other sociological aspects of the “circuit culture.” He is now in the early stages of his next long-term research project, a project focused on long-term, shared household, polyamorous (multiple-adult) relationships. The work will provide a comparison of polyamory among gay men, lesbians, heterosexuals and bisexuals. This work will explore a wide range of issues, issues including domesticity, work-family issues, family relations, intimacy, friendship and sexuality within polyamorous relationships.
