(How Do We Get to) A More Inclusive History of the US Sexuality Field

Title of Event:  (How Do We Get to) A More Inclusive History of the US Sexuality Field

Description of Event:

Wondering where are the Global Majority and Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) are in the history of the US sexuality field? So are we! This course fills in the numerous gaps in the contributions, research, labor, and lives of the Global Majority and BIPOC to the US. Honoring the contributions of some white sex professionals and making space for a more inclusive understanding of how the Global Majority and BIPOC have also created new forms of healing, knowledge production, and research will be offered along with how a framework of dehumanization has guided the field and must be shifted. Learn something new and challenge the single story narrative we’ve been taught about the US sexuality field. It’s time to grow.
