Sex Education: an interview with Margaret Grace Myers
Welcome to our second episode of the Fall 2026 season! Join our host Aspen as they chat with Margaret Grace Myers, historian of sex education in America, about her book "The Fight for Sex Ed" and how the past has shaped the present when it comes to how we approach sex education. What influenced ideas around sex ed in the past? What has changed about current understanding? Why does shame have such a chokehold on sexual health and sex education still today, and how can we shake it off? Join Aspen and Margaret as they strive to answer these questions and more on this episode of Reproductive Left!
