Findings: Situated in a conceptual landscape of queer theory and feminist archive activism, through this paper we share what happened when a 30-year-old…

Background: Sex education for people with intellectual disability is in its infancy in countries where their sexual expression is still considered a taboo. This study aimed at exploring the experiences of professionals involved in providing sex education to people with intellectual disability across a number of services in a Maltese context.…

Addressing sexting in sexual health education classrooms is one way of supporting young people to become good sexual citizens and to emphasise respect and consent in their sexual practices and in their lives. While a fair amount of research has worked with youth to understand their motivations for sexting, less research has been conducted with…

Despite the established need for sexuality and relationship programming for autistic adults, there are extremely limited curricula for this population.

Novel forms of social media created 'by-and-for' women offer potentially new ways of communicating and constructing sex education. In this paper, we consider how Instagram is being used by sex educators to deploy discourses of resistance and erotics to educate about sex. Our method consisted of a combined critical discourse (CDA) and content…

In this scholarship, I present insights from a sensory ethnographic study on novice educators' embodied experiences of learning to teach sex education. I query how educators sense-make their role as knowledgeable sex educators in relation to the official and erotic discourses of sex education, and examine the experiential divisions between these…

I offer an account of sexual ethics, and thus of an education in sexual morality, that tries to make some sense of how a view of consent as central to those ethics might be combined with an education in certain virtues. I do so by exploring what some see as the shortcomings of a standard of consent, namely, how it can deal with instances of prima…

After presenting a brief overview of political debates and state programmes…

As a term, "eros" has never had a candid etymology. Consequently, "eros" has emerged as a vexed facet of pedagogy. Understandably, its existence in academia is hardly spoken of. Delimiting "eros" to sexual seduction has catalyzed the institutional denial of "eros." Eventually, the conceptualization of…

In this article, we propose that using student-centred pedagogical approaches and engaging in the possibly controversial practice of educator self-disclosure may engender spaces in which educators, researchers and students can engage with the pressing question of sexual violence prevention together and, in particular, how can we keep each other…

Socrates is famous for claiming that 'I know one thing: That I know nothing'. There is one subject that Socrates repeatedly claims to have expertise in, however: ta erôtika. Socrates also refers to this expertise as his erôtikê technê, which may be translated as 'erotic expertise'. I argue that the purposes this expertise serve are, to a…
