Writers and Thinkers on sexual health and gender
Sexualities education is so much more than the old movies we saw in school. Culture is one of the greatest pedagogues of sexualities education going; we get our messages of what it means to engage with gender, power, sexualities and desire from a constant stream of cultural messages. Sometimes we challenge, resist and disrupt those messages in some really interesting and creative ways. This blog is an attempt to understand and document some of the texts that are challenging and redefining the way we think about sexualities education, both in formal and informal contexts...or not.
