Presenter:
Dr. Elisabeth “Eli” Sheff is the foremost academic expert
on polyamorous families with children. With a PhD in Sociology, Dr. Sheff
specializes in gender and sexual minority families, consensual non-monogamy,
and kink/BDSM. Sheff’s first book, The Polyamorists Next Door (2014 hardback and
ebook, 2015 paperback and audiobook), details the findings of the first 15
years of her research on polyamorous families with children. Her second book,
Stories from the Polycule (2015), is an edited anthology of writings by
polyamorous folks. When Someone You Love is Polyamorous (2016) is Sheff’s
shortest book that guides family members and significant others who are trying
to understand a polyamorous loved one. Dr. Sheff is currently in her fourth
wave of data collection for her 20+ year study of polyamorous families with
children.
