The SDSU Center for Research on Sexuality and Sexual Health (SASH) presents: "Subjectified: Nine Young Women Talk About Sex"
April 17, 2018; 7:00-9:00PM
SDSU Student Union Theater
"Subjectified: Nine Young Women Talk About Sex" is a documentary that lets women define
sexuality on their own terms. Featuring one-on-one interviews with nine diverse young women from all over the country, Subjectified unearths complex stories of female sexuality-stories that, up until now, have been shockingly absent from the pop culture in their authentic form. The stories may sound familiar: young
moms, abstinent Christians, lesbians, survivors of assaults and STDs. But outside the world of reality TV and sound bites, women approach their lives in
complex and unexpected ways: sometimes hilarious, sometimes sobering, and always heartfelt. Faculty-led discussion with Dr. Jennifer Felner will follow.
