Elroi J. Windsor, Ph.D.

Dr. Elroi J. Windsor (they/them) is Professor of Sociology at the University of West Georgia and the Executive Officer of the Society for the Study of Social Problems. Windsor's scholarly interests relate to gender, sexuality, and the body, particularly as they manifest within healthcare institutions. Windsor's primary research studies focused on trans men's access to healthcare, comparisons between cisgender and transgender consumers of surgical body modification, and an ethnography of body workers in a medical center. Currently, Windsor is transforming their ethnographic research into a book that examines the meanings body workers produced in their work with surgically removed body parts in a pathology lab, deceased bodies in a morgue, and educational cadavers in a gross anatomy lab. Windsor is a co-editor (with Dana Berkowitz and Chong-suk Han) of Male Femininities (NYU Press, 2023) and Sex Matters: The Sexuality and Society Reader (W. W. Norton, 2014, 2019; Allyn & Bacon, 2009). Windsor priorities critical sociological approaches, applying an intersectional feminist lens to the study of social inequalities.
