Real Talk: Discussing consent, porn and relationships - online
Did your sex-ed leave a lot to be desired? Sexologists and researchers Giselle Woodley (PhD Candidate at ECU and co-founder of Bloom Ed – a relationships and sexuality education advocacy group) and educator Jordina Quain (Curtin’s Relationships and Sexuality Education Project) discuss concepts, research findings and phenomena relating to consent, pornography, sex and relationships, taking a deep dive into these issues beyond the norms conceived in classrooms, public discourse and wider society. Challenging and exploring some of the mainstream narratives and messaging of the sex-ed you might have received or seen online, this is intended to be a space for real talk.

Preventing sexual harm at Murdoch University
Murdoch University is committed to ensuring our community is free from sexual harm and take our role in making sure our university spaces are safe, respectful places to study and work seriously. We take a trauma-informed approach, which is reflected in our Sexual Harm Policy.
If you have experienced, witnessed, or been informed of sexual harm, visit our website for available resources, including guidance on disclosing sexual harm to Murdoch University. Making a disclosure is not the same as making a formal report and can be done anonymously. Find out more on our Respect.Now.Always. page or by downloading the Murdoch Safe app.
Creating a culture of respect takes all of us working together. Join us for Respect Week and be part of building a more inclusive, safe, and respectful university community!
