Reimagining Hookup Culture

Between reproductive rights advocacy and sexual health literacy, there’s endless commentary about how young people navigate relationships - whether they are long-term or fleeting connections. And, ironically, talking about hooking up is both extremely common and taboo. 

Reimagining Hookup Culture is a community of practice for students who want to make space for compelling conversations about their relational practices, including the narratives they’ve learned about intimacy and how that affects their everyday choices (and thinking). 

In this 6-session series, students will gather for discussions about hookup culture facilitated by Gen Z Relationship Health Expert Ebele Onyema. By the end of this community of practice, participants will be invited to build and share potential interventions that could help reimagine hookup culture in their lives or wider communities.
