Free and open to the public. Surveys suggest that American parents want the schools to teach their children about a wide variety of matters sexual. Yet few of these same parents would be comfortable continuing that conversation at home, much less initiating it in the first place. In her colloquium, Ellen More will discuss Calderone's approach to sexuality, her struggle against groups like the Christian Crusade and the Moral Majority, and her complicated relationship to modern feminism. She is a professor of history and medical humanities at the Institute for the Medical Humanities, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston.
All events are free and open to the public.
