A Conversation with Hanne Blank: There Is No Wrong Way To Have A Body! 

Date: Friday, October 25
Time: 8 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Location: Art Building (Next to CFAM)
More Info: Facebook Event

Join author and activist Hanne Blank (Big Big Love and others) for a frank, funny, paradigm-shifting night of learning why there’s no wrong way to have a body when it comes to sex… no matter what your body’s built like or looks like. We’ll take a compassionate look at those old body-related fears and scars together, and talk about new ways to think about all the many, many different ways that our bodies can be the vehicles for drop-dead delicious and totally sexy experience. All sexes/genders/orientations welcome, as well as all bodies! Food will be provided! A part of Voices for Women’s Love Your Body Week.

Instructor: Hanne Blank spends her time thinking, learning, writing, and speaking at the crossroads of bodies, self, and culture. Joyfully spanning the town/gown divide as well as the mind/body split, her books include the histories Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality (Beacon Press, 2012) and Virgin: The Untouched History (Bloomsbury, 2007), the cult classic sex and body-acceptance books The Unapologetic Fat Girl’s Guide to Exercise and Other Incendiary Acts (Ten Speed Press, 2012), Big Big Love: A Sex and Relationships Guide for People of Size (and Those Who Love Them) (Celestial Arts, 2011), and numerous others.
