Sexual Literacy and
Social Change: Making your Research
Matter
October 30-31
San Francisco State University Downtown
Campus
Sexual Literacy promotes lifelong sexual happiness and well being in individuals, relationships, and communities. The National Sexuality Resource Center (NSRC) is pleased to announce the first ever regional training on Sexual Literacy this October at the San Francisco State University Downtown Campus. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to connect with students, researchers, academics, and community organizations and receive invaluable training on sexual literacy and sexuality research!
Make the your research matter with this day long series. Discover how to use sexual literacy as a framework for sexuality education and research. Get the tools you need to write successful proposals for sexuality research, and find out how to maneuver through the Internal Review Board process easily. Learn how to present your work like a professional, with advice from experts on presenting at national conferences. Finally, get your research out to the public—through journals, magazines, blogs, talks and workshops—with our session on community-based research and communication in sexuality.
Day Two – October 31st Sexual Literacy in Action:
Present your Work and Learn about Research from Fellow Scholars and Activists
On the second day of this training you have the opportunity to present work YOU have done on sexuality research. In addition to gaining presentation experience and networking with students and organizations, you will be eligible for an award for best student paper. The morning plenary of this conference will be given by Dr. Hector Carrillo, author of The Night is Young: Sexuality in Mexico in the time of AIDS. He will speak about how his research influenced the 2008 International AIDS conference in Mexico City and consequently, policy surrounding sexuality in Mexico. The afternoon plenary will be given by Dr. Jessica Fields, author of Risky Lessons: Sex Education and Social Inequality, who will speak about the implications her research is having on sexuality education practice and policy.
