Deadline Approaching for the History of Sexuality Workshop

10/29/2018

0 Comments

 
Dear Curious Souls,
      I'm excited for our upcoming workshop on Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality, Vol. 1 in November, 2018. The text analyzes the complicated workings of sex and power, and famously argues that sexual identities are not natural categories, but social constructions. It has become a classic in feminist theory, gender studies, and queer theory, and it is an essential text for understanding the workings of power in modern societies. I'm excited for what we might do with Foucualt's theory of power to help us understand current discussions surrounding the #MeToo movement, the Kavanaugh hearings, and movements to opt out of gender and sexuality binaries altogether.
     The deadline to register is Saturday, October 3. Time to order your book and save yourself a spot!  Register with a friend for a significant discount.

Come with us to:
  • Examine negative and positive mechanisms of power
  • Learn how power operates to form identities
  • Experiment with avenues of resistance and opportunities for creativity

Saturdays Oct. 10, 17, 24 1:00-3:30 at World Cup Coffee in NW Portland. Learn more on our History of Sexuality webpage.

What Our Clients Are Saying
​
​

"Monica meets you on every level: She’ll readily engage with any abstract ideas you have about the world or the self, and analyze those ideas with you, but she also has a way of making you feel that she viscerally understands the difficulty of the situations you’re describing. When I talk to her, I have the feeling that I’m talking to someone who is very present, who is on my side, and who has also fought to be able to live her own life on her terms."
"Conversations with Monica feel non-hierarchical. She is working through the questions with you, not diagnosing you or analyzing you."
"I get the sense that philosophical counseling for Monica is an extension of who she is. These difficult topics are a part of her own life, and she is comfortable talking about what is uncomfortable."
