Ms. Orenstein is a New York Times best-selling author and journalist whose writing covers gender, sexuality, body image, pop culture and social media. Ms. Orenstein's talk Girls and Sex draws on extensive research she has conducted with a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts as well as in-depth interviews with nearly one hundred young women. With humor, surprising facts and compelling anecdotes, her talk opens up a much-needed conversation about an often silent and complex subtext of young adult life - the navigation of the current sexual landscape. Touching on the ways in which porn and its sexual myths have seeped into young people’s lives; the role of hookup culture; the impact of media and social media; how what “counts” as sex has changed; the painful realities surrounding assault; consent education; and taboos around discussing female sexual pleasure.
