In popular discourse, we commonly make use of terms like “gay,” “straight,” “heterosexual,” and “homosexual.” Yet in the world of academia, rigid, essential categories such as these are no longer used to describe sexuality. Instead, sexuality is viewed as fluid, with sexual desires only appearing consistent due to social constructions. At this event, we will examine sexuality through several different lenses, and attempt to determine if sexual orientations reflect a difference in biological make-up, cultural constructions, or some combination of the two. Speakers include Andrew Lear, Simon LeVay, Rachel Levin, and Pardis Mahdavi.
