This September, we had the pleasure of hosting Amina Srinivasan to celebrate the release of her debut, The Right to Sex, with Sarah Leonard.
Thrilling, sharp, and deeply humane, the philosopher Amia Srinivasan’s The Right to Sex upends the way we discuss-or avoid discussing-the problems and politics of sex.
We do not know the future of sex-but perhaps we could imagine it. Amia Srinivasan’s stunning debut helps us do just that. She traces the meaning of sex in our world, animated by the hope of a different world. She reaches back into an older feminist tradition that was unafraid to think of sex as a political phenomenon. She discusses a range of fraught relationships-between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and accountability, students and teachers, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation.
Amia & Sarah thank you so much for joining us! We hope to see you again soon.
