[Air-L] Webinar: Why Is Sex Objectionable?, April 26

[Susanna Paasonen]

Dear all,

Please join us on Zoom, or in person, should you be in Sydney (and sorry for cross-posting):

Why is sex objectionable?

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 • 06:00PM - 07:00PM AEDT (10:00 - 11:00 AM CEST)
Online / Social Sciences Building Seminar Room 210, University of Sydney

Despite the significance of sexuality in people’s lives, sex is a topic of constant contestation. This panel asks why sex, particularly mediated depictions of sex, are often termed objectionable. Why are female nipples zoned out from social media? Why is porn framed as a social problem? Join us as our experts discuss what is really at stake in platform regulation of explicit content.

Chair: Professor Kane Race (University of Sydney)

Participants: Professor Kath Albury (Swinburne University of Technology), Professor Alan McKee (UTS), Professor Susanna Paasonen (University of Turku/Hunt-Simes Visiting Chair @SSSHARC, University of Sydney)
