Is there a sex-positive way to teach abstinence? Where do our ideas about virginity come from? How does a queer person lose their virginity? Does anyone even know what virginity really is?
From debunking myths to defying norms, the Rethinking Virginity Conference will feature scholars and experts speaking about gender, sexuality, and the elusive concept of virginity. For a sneak preview, check out our tentative panels, read about the speakers, and register for FREE. Come for one panel or stay all day! Chat with speakers while grabbing FREE BURRITOS at the Boloco-sponsored lunch, and get information from tabling organizations between panels!
