In this digital age, Internet pornography is only a click away. Accessible anytime, anywhere it is ready to be consumed by minors, too - sometimes against their will. Exposure to pornographic material is a daily reality, while much needed discussion of its contents and responses to these are not. Mainstream pornography's often problematic representations of bodies, genders, skin colors and the sexual act as such are left widely unexplored, and sex education at schools makes no exception.
In this class, we will explore ways to further Porn Literacy: decoding its overt and covert messages, dealing with its contents and finding strategies towards open-minded discussions of these, particularly with adolescents.
Through its focus on how to read and talk about porn, this class is of special interest for future teachers.
