Event overview
How has our understanding of bisexuality changed over time & what are the practical implications of this today? On a more fundamental level how should we even define bisexuality?
This fast-paced panel discussion will examine research on attraction to multiple genders from various perspectives - including history, psychology, sociology, and film studies. Join us for this fascinating and turbulent dip into the world of bisexual research.
