Description: This course will help participants to recognize intersectionalities between sexuality and specific cultural groups in the US; allow participants to begin to define culture in new ways; and help participants to understand how race, religion, and ethnicity inform beliefs, values, and decision making with regard to sexual behaviors, sexual health, and sexual identities. Join us for a fascinating discussion of these topics and a new way to look at ourselves.
