Sex Educator of the Week: Joanna Gattuso

What project(s) in sex ed are you currently working on?

I am currently working on writing new lessons that integrate teaching identity, power and sexual health. These lessons tackle structural violence and institutional oppression as they manifest in our sexual identities. Right now, I am also helping my community transition to having a school-based health center in the high school!
