The Program in Sexuality Studies at Duke

From the Director

The program in the study of sexualities is coordinated by a director (Ara Wilson) and supported by staff shared with the Program in Women’s Studies. The SXL program involves numerous faculty from across campus as well as several librarians and graduate students working in the field.
