Let's Talk About Sex! A Division III on Sexual Education in the U.S.

Sexual education is not simply about what you learned (or did not learn) from high school or middle school - it is about how and where you learned it. Whether it is from your friends, the internet, community groups, or your parents, everyone has a story to tell about sexual education and every story is unique. I would love to hear these stories for my Division III on sexual education in the United States throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. If you are interested in sharing your experiences with me, know of someone who might be interested, or simply want to find out a little more about this study, please contact me. The only requirement is that you must be 18 or older.

Thank you,
