Advanced Summer Institute on Sexuality, Culture and Society

During this four-week advanced programme, participants will build on their existing knowledge of sexuality as it is contextualized by issues of ethnicity, nationality, class, and religion. Further, participants will deepen their familiarity with how sexuality is conceptualized and practiced across a variety of research, programmatic, and advocacy venues.
