Jemma Tosh examine de manière critique les cadres psychologiques utilisés pour comprendre et catégoriser le genre humain, la sexualité et le comportement. Son travail explore les manières dont ces catégories sont construites et comment elles façonnent les expériences individuelles et les perceptions sociétales. Tosh remet en question les récits psychologiques conventionnels, révélant les idéologies sous-jacentes et les dynamiques de pouvoir qui influencent la pathologisation de la violence sexuelle et des identités transgenres. Ses recherches visent à offrir une compréhension plus nuancée de ces aspects complexes de l'expérience humaine.
