We believe in a comprehensive, sex-positive understanding of sexuality that promotes sexual health, pleasure, and empowerment. The dialogue we hope to cultivate will be LGBTQ-friendly, relevant to a wide array of audiences, medically accurate, held in a safe-space, and enlightening. The event does not presume everyone is having sex, so Sex Week will include programming for people who are not sexually active. SEAT will address issues of gender, sex, sexuality, and all the aspects of our lives that are affected by these issues, including culture, politics, religion, and even the economy. Sex has historically been a site of oppression; therefore, discussion about sex and sexuality are important because they involve ideas not only about our personal physical and emotional lives but also the sociocultural context in which we’re immersed. This annual week-long event will foster ongoing, open, and productive dialogue and will add to the value of student life and the co-curricular education at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The week-long event will be composed of a variety of events focusing on education and entertainment, including basic tabling, seminars, keynote speakers, talent and fashion shows, and a film series. These events will explore concepts of love, gender identity, relationships, sexual orientation, and sex. Our end-all goal is that everyone feels comfortable attending any of our events and each person leaves having a comprehensive understanding of sexuality, including health, pleasure, and empowerment. We look forward to bringing an urgently needed discussion to our campus and inviting you to lend your voices to the conversation! See you in April 2015!
