Description

Join Dr. Alan Martino and undergraduate student Eleni Moumos as they welcome two incredible guests, Dr. Chelsea Jones, an Associate Professor in Child and Youth Studies at Brock University, and Fran Odette, a Professor in the Department of Social and Community Services at George Brown College. Together, they tackle the state of sex education in Canada, the importance of including disabled individuals in discussions on sexuality, and how we can 'crip' sex education to make it more accessible and inclusive for all.


Our guests shed light on the obstacles within current educational systems and discuss the transformative potential of a pleasure-centered, permission-based approach. This episode challenges conventional narratives, discusses the missing discourse on disability and pleasure, and explores creative ways to disrupt ableist and normative scripts around sex education.


Whether you're an educator, student, or advocate, this episode provides valuable insights into the urgency of reshaping sexual education to be more inclusive, diverse, and empowering for disabled communities.


Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that aims to create safer spaces for open, honest conversations about sex, sexuality, and disability.
