Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction
- Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction
The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, often shortened to The Kinsey Institute, exists "to promote interdisciplinary research and scholarship in the fields of human sexuality, gender, and reproduction".
The Institute was founded as the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University in 1947 by Dr. Alfred Kinsey, then an entomologist and zoologist at IU. Its original goals were the study of human sexuality and human sexual behavior. In 1948 and 1953 the Institute published two monographs on human sexuality, generally now known as the Kinsey Reports.
Ever since, the Institute, the reports and Kinsey himself have been the subject of controversy. Among its functions is to preserve the supporting materials of the Kinsey Reports and subsequent publications, making them available for new research while preserving confidentiality. The Institute also provides a sexuality information service for students (KISISS) now known as [http://kinseyconfidential.org Kinsey Confidential] which provides sex questions and answers in column-format and podcast-format. The answers are provided by sex researcher and columnist, Debby Herbenick PhD.
The Institute remains an important figure in the field of contemporary research. Its founder, Dr. Alfred Kinsey, died in the 1950s. Since that time, the Institute has had five directors: Paul Gebhard PhD, June Reinish PhD, Stephanie Sanders PhD, John Bancroft MD and (current director) Julia Heiman PhD.
