Event details
Information
What role do social, biological and individual factors play in shaping our sexual orientation - and why do we care? How and why does sexuality impact our identity as individuals and as groups? Has sexuality always defined our sense of self?
This event addresses topical questions about sexual orientation and sexual identity by bringing together researchers from History and Psychology.
It will feature a brief performance on the history of sexual science and present talks on cutting-edge research in Psychology.
There will be tea, coffee, and time for the audience to engage in discussion with academics and sexual health experts and to share their own perspectives.
