What Is This Workshop About?
We are so excited to bring monthly facilitated discussions of topics in Sexuality Studies, LGBTQ Studies, Kink and BDSM, all from an intersectional perspective that is attentive to how race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability come together to shape how we experience the world. Please see this month’s topic below:
What does it mean when #metoo comes to kink? How can we identify and intercede in abuses of power in our kink communities especially when it relates to race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, and nationality? What are things we can do to make our communities safer? What does accountability look like? Together, we will brainstorm and talk through our experiences and ideas.
Participants will receive a suggested reading list following the dialogue
