Sex contextualism in laboratory research. Enhancing rigor and precision in the study of sex-related variables

Understanding sex-related variation in health requires moving beyond sex as a mere classification system to focusing on measurable sex-related variables, which can vary in context-specific ways. Rigorous research methods and careful interpretation are essential to ensure that findings support health equity for all.

Madeleine Pape is a sociologist of gender, who examines the epistemic politics of “sex” and “gender” across diverse institutional contexts. She is particularly interested in how notions of “biological sex” and “sex difference” become embedded in gender equity projects in sport and biomedicine, and with what consequences. By examining how policymakers, scientists, and (certain) feminists seek to enact “sex,” she shows how “it” emerges as elusive and ambiguous and always entangled with gender, race, nation, and other socially meaningful forms of difference.
