- “Female genital mutilation” (FGM) or “female genital cutting” (often FGM/C) are the most widespread terms to designate nonmedical practices that alter or affect the external female genitalia. Medical consequences are often classified into immediate and long-term complications. FGM/C in some form is practiced in more than 30 countries, primarily in Africa and Asia, and there is vast variation as regards motives and age of the girls who undergo the procedure. FGM/C is illegal in Europe, North America, and Australia, and in most high-prevalence countries in Africa. Few cases of illegal FGM/C procedures have reached criminal courts in the west. A growing body of research demonstrates that cultural change regarding FGM/C attitudes and practices among migrant communities may be an important explanatory factor. Current contested issues include how the prevalent zero-tolerance approach to FGM/C is in line with the general acceptance of male circumcision, intersex surgery, and cosmetic female genital surgeries.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sociological conceptualizations of what it means to have an ethnic and racial minority status, and of how these identification grounds affect our lives, have evolved over the past five decades. These advancements have also had implications for how sociologists make sense of the challenges and opportunities that cultural diversity entails. Research on aging that focuses on (national) culture, ethnicity, race, minorities, and diversity has yet to be informed by the sociological advancements in question. This entry addresses why this is the case and discusses the conceptualizations of ethnicity and race that inform research on aging. In addition, this entry exposes the ways in which the sociological imagination on aging and old age in relation to culture, ethnicity, race, minority status, and diversity could be advanced.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In one sense, the recognition of sexuality as a central feature of organization(s) is relatively recent, prompted by a range of disciplinary and theoretical positions. Foremost of these is second wave feminism, highlighting concerns with women's control over their bodies and sexuality, and critiques of the sexualization of organizations, and sexist uses of sexuality, in advertising and other organizational displays. A second force for change has been LGBTQI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, plus further unspecified non-normative gender and sexuality identities) new sexual social movements. Another stimulus has been poststructuralist and postcolonial theory. The most profound impact of such moves has been in problematizing sexuality, especially heterosexuality, and essentialized, naturalized views of sexuality, and, with queer theory, “homosexuality” too. Yet in another sense, the centrality of sexuality for organization(s) seems to be rediscovered every few years, as if a new insight (see Zetterberg, 1966).
