Eastern Mennonite School students in grades 9 to 12, and parents of K-12 students, will have the opportunity to learn and talk about the hypersexualized context in the United States April 23 and 26.<\/p>\n

Matthew Ezell<\/a>, PhD,\u00a0 James Madison University sociology program coordinator and an expert on the impact that pornography has on healthy sexuality, will be the resource person.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m grateful that EMS is open to this conversation,\u201d Dr. Ezzell told planning team members. \u201cIt\u2019s such an important step to create space for young people to learn they don\u2019t have to get pulled into the hypersexualized culture. There are ways \u2014 and good reasons \u2014 to choose otherwise.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ezzell, whose research has been published in the Journal of Women\u2019s Health<\/em>, Journal of Contemporary Ethnography<\/em>, the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy<\/em> and more, is a member of the board of the organization Culture Reframed<\/a>. The organization is dedicated to helping children, teens, and parents navigate a hypersexualized, digital culture, focusing on pornography as a public health issue.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
