Denison: Author and activist Julia Serano

The Department of English welcomes author and activist Julia Serano presenting “Sexuality, Sexualization and Self-Examining Desire.” In this talk, Serano will discuss various forms of sexualization and offer strategies for how we can challenge them. She also will share her thoughts on how we can navigate being ethically sexual human beings in a world where certain hierarchies and stereotypes will likely influence our sexuality. Serano is the author of “Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity.” She is an acclaimed writer, performer, lecturer and speaker on the subjects of sex, gender, sexuality, feminism, queer, transgender, bisexual, and activism.
