Feminist Friday: Decolonizing Sex Positivity

Friday, April 6, 6:00- 8:00 pm, 412 Bruininks Hall
RSVP encouraged

 
Developed by Nafeesa Dawoodbhoy and presented by The Smitten Kitten, this workshop offers a challenge to white-dominated perspectives on sex positivity, and engages anyone seeking to expand and complicate their understanding of sex positivity. What are ways that people with intersecting identities, especially people of color, can stay true to their whole selves and honor the complexities of all their identities? 
 
This event is supported through a Campus Climate Micro-Grant.
