Art Therapy Conference: Creating an Inclusive Space by Dismantling the Sociopolitical Construction of Sexuality
9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Saturday, March 30
Cost: $75 for the general public, $40 for SIUE faculty and $10 for SIUE students
In this workshop, we will learn about the historical sociocultural construction of sex and gender that led to the two-sex binary model (male and female). We will also learn how inaccurate and harmful this model is, as it does not include the biological and psychological reality of many. Even within the binary model, the sociocultural construction of 'female' sexuality has been physiologically inaccurate and harmful.
Increasing one's understanding and comfort with sexuality is vital for creating a space in therapy for all clients. Incorporating a sex-positive approach in one's practice begins with increasing one's understanding and knowledge around sexuality, as well as one's awareness of internalized cultural biases and beliefs. Using art making and dialogue, we will establish a space to learn about the cultural messages that we have and begin to create space for a healthier, more inclusive understanding of sexuality.
For more information and to register for these amazing opportunities, please visit the educational outreach website.
