Stop Porn Culture:
An International Feminist Anti-Pornography Conference
June 12-13, 2010
Wheelock College, Boston MA
In March 2007, over 500 people gathered at a conference in Boston to help re-ignite a progressive and feminist movement against pornography. Our second national conference will once again bring together activists, academics, researchers, survivors, parents, and other concerned community members to continue developing our anti-pornography analysis and building our resistance movement. Come and join us for two days of keynotes, workshops, and discussion. Speakers include Wendy Maltz, Gail Dines, Chyng Sun, Rebecca Whisnant, Jane Caputi, Sharon Cooper, Robert Jensen, and Carolyn West.
Presentations and workshops include:
- The pornification of our culture
- Racism in pop culture and pornography
- Local, national, and international organizing
- Porn and capitalism
- Legal strategies against porn
- The sexualization of children
- Compulsive pornography use
- Hooking up: the porn culture on campus
