What Is This Workshop About?
We are so excited to bring monthly facilitated discussions of topics in Sexuality Studies, LGBTQ Studies, Kink and BDSM, all from an intersectional perspective that is attentive to how race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability come together to shape how we experience the world. Please see this month’s topic below:
Let’s have a talk about race and its presence in kink. For example, how does the power connected to our intersectional identities, and race, in particular inform our D/s dynamics in ways we may not even realize? How do we understand power complexly in kink informed by anti-blackness, colonialism, genocide, incarcaration/interment, patriarchy, and white supremacy? How do these play out locally in our play spaces, community organizations, and clubs? These are just a few questions we may explore; however, you are encouraged to come with your own questions or contributions.
Participants will receive a suggested reading list following the dialogue
