Penn Humanities Forum on Sex

The University of Pennsylvania, School of Arts and Sciences will be holding their annual Penn Humanities Forum starting September 16! The mission statement of the forum includes the following description:

“The Penn Humanities Forum is charged with taking a fresh look at those insights that touch on the human experience. Our goals are to demonstrate how vital the humanities are to the life of the mind and the health of society, and how the humanities are connected with many areas of inquiry in medicine, law, business, and the social sciences.

The topic for the 2015-2016 forum is sex. The public events for this series are listed below.
