The 2012 SI will provide students with a unique opportunity to explore the social and cultural dimensions of human sexuality, and to gain knowledge of cutting-edge research on sexuality as conceptualized and practiced globally, pertaining to both theory and methodology.

Each year, the SI is comprised of a, multidisciplinary international faculty and student body from a range of social and cultural backgrounds, offering a rewarding and challenging learning experience. Students engage with faculty and guest lecturers via a specialized program of course modules (twice daily), weekly get-togethers, and informal conversations during daily group lunches. Students benefit from an exceptional networking opportunity through the sharing of experiences, works in progress, research plans and diverse perspectives. As the host city for the SI, Amsterdam is an ideal location. The open atmosphere and small scale of the city offers a refreshing setting for engagement and discussion of sexuality, culture and society. This year, the module topics include: Men, Manhood, Masculinities; Sex and the City; Sexuality, Society and Culture; Sexuality in Art and Media, Seminar in Proposal Development; Sex Trafficking; Religion and Sexuality; and Professional Identities in the Sexuality Field.
