What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? In her latest book, Ace, journalist Angela Chen set out to further understand her own asexuality by examining the perspectives of a diverse group of asexual people. Her accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces confront—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are the same conflicts that nearly all of us experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Angela seeks to break down the misconceptions around the “A” of LGBTQIA+ and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy.  Through stories of disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don’t want romantic relationships, Angela shares what it is like navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal. Her careful cultural analysis both explores how societal norms limit our understanding of sex and relationships and celebrates the breadth of sexuality and queerness. Angela Chen and journalist Sabrina Imbler discuss what it means to be asexual in a world that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity. During the event, an audience member posed a question about music that may relate to the ace experience and Angela was able to find a link, explore: http://bit.ly/aceplaylist Explore CIIS Human Sexuality Department: https://www.ciis.edu/academics/gradua...
