Porn Literacy | From the Rothman Violence Prevention Research Lab
My next featured class is a 9-part workshop on media literacy with an emphasis on sexualized imagery.
Learning how to critically examine and make informed choices around sexualized media is a necessary 21st-century life skill.
-
Young people are increasingly turning to pornography and media to fill the sex ed gap. However, research has determined a link between pornography consumption and sexual violence. In this class, we will learn to critically dissect and deconstruct the messages and stereotypes in sexualized media.

Created by Dr. Emily Rothman and begun in Boston, this curriculum is an alternative to what is offered in most public school settings.
Although we will not be viewing sexually-explicit media in class, due to the sensitive nature of class content this class is recommended for ages 16+ up, with parent permission. -
