Sociology in Action Lecture “Consent in the Dark: Sexual Ethics in a Post-#Me Too World”

How do we have ethical sex in the wake of #MeToo? What does consent look like in action? In this talk based on the recently released collection, Unsafe Words, sociologist Trevor Hoppe argues that the tools such as “enthusiastic consent” are tailored to the experiences and needs of (mostly white) heterosexual people. In search of a more expansive vision of sexual ethics, Professor Hoppe explores homegrown tools that queer communities use to practice ethical sex and reflects on his own experiences as a gay man to consider strategies for preventing and responding to sexual violence.
