sounds like the perfect background for The Vagina Monologues! Sexuality Studies and Theatre--you totally need to contact Eve Ensler! Are you the one in NH?

Many schools offer undergraduates a certificate or minor in Sexuality Studies, which is very different from Women's Studies or LGBT Studies. SS has a strong social science and biological science base, as well as cultural studies; it's quite interdisciplinary. A lot of psych majors or public health majors add a SS minor/certificate to their programs. SS degrees can be helpful to sex educators, therapists, public health advocates and researchers, writers, public policy wonks, and purveyors of various and sundry adult goodies, among other things. > > Here's my story: I started as a Theatre major at U of Iowa and also pursued a certificate in SS Studies (they have an excellent SS Department, but alas, no major as yet). I transferred to UMD, then took two years off to attend a conservatory program in NY. Now I want to finish my BA, and as I already have the equivalent of a BFA in Acting, I wanted to study something else I loved. I am now working to get approval for a SS major under the Individual Studies program at UMD. Since SS is a recognized field I'm not anticipating any trouble aside from the usual nonsense. What I mostly want to do is theatre, but at this point that whole business is about contacts, job experience, etc. I'm working for like, no money as an actor right now, in between my crazy/busy job as personal super hero and outraged twenty-something. I need a BA for my own peace of mind and for a more interesting/better paying/more stable day job. The BA is all about keeping going in any direction, > 'cause that's really all you can do when you're 24, especially when you're the mark on God's personally designed episode of Punk'd. > > Ellen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ok, where can you go to school to major in sexuality studies?
