Michaela Frischherz, Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies, presents her sabbatical talk on Friday, March 17, 3:00pm on Zoom. The title of her presentation is “Queering Sexual Communication: Origins, Attitude Reassessment, and the Body.”

Frischherz’s sabbatical presentation explores the value of centering body justice principles in the Sexual Communication classroom. Informed by Sexual Attitude Reassessment (SAR) seminars, the project takes stock of how sexual topics and controversies feel within the body given the complex structures of power that make access to pleasure different for different people (e.g. white supremacy, heteronormativity, patriarchy). The project outlines the pedagogical possibilities embedded within an approach attuned to somatics, power, and embodied time.

Dr. Frischherz’s sabbatical talk will be presented as part of COFAC’s Colloquium 55 on Friday, March 17, at 3:00pm on Zoom.
