Sexology Today: Studying Sexuality in the Past and Present
November 2, 2023, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Past Event
Join experts from The University of Akron for a moderated panel discussion on the study of human sexuality! Panelists Dr. Toni Bisconti, Nikki Crawford, Dr. Daniela Jauk-Ajamie, and Dr. Mary Triece will discuss Sexology magazine, which brought sex research to the American public from 1933 to 1983, as well as their own present-day work and research. How has the study of sexuality changed over the past century? What topics are researchers grappling with today? And how has the field dealt with ongoing restrictions, censorship, and controversy?
A short Q&A period will follow the moderated discussion. This event is free and open to the public, and all attendees will receive free admission to the Cummings Center’s Sexology: Science & Sensationalism exhibit.
