We are pleased to announce the 12th annual Summer Institute on Sexuality, Culture and Society to be held at the International School for Humanities and Social Sciences, Universiteit van Amsterdam from July 6 - August 2, 2008.
Students and professionals are invited to participate in courses, seminars and dialogues in Amsterdam on the cultural and social dimensions of human sexuality.
Scientific directors of the Summer Institute are Carole Vance and Stefan Dudink.
The Summer Institute is an intensive four-week summer program, which focuses on the study of sexuality across cultures and is taught by an international faculty team.
This highly specialised programme is for advanced students, primarily Ph.D. and MA students in the socio-cultural sciences and professionals working for NGO's.
The institute was founded in 1995 since then students from more than forty countries have participated in our courses. Nearly a quarter of the participants have been professionals working for NGO's. The other participants came from such diverse educational backgrounds as the social sciences (anthropology, sociology), psychology, women's studies, history, public health and human sexuality studies. Statements of former students can be found on the website.
