Thursday April 10, 6:30pm
Speaker: Donna Freitas, Boston University
Location: Hofstra USA
Based on over 2500 online surveys and dozens of face-to-face interviews, Donna Freitas’ new book Sex and the Soul explores the sexual and spiritual lives of today's college students. She crisscrossed the country, visiting a range of America's colleges and universities--from public to private, Catholic to evangelical--to find out what students had to say about these highly personal subjects. In Sex and the Soul Freitas asks students: Is there a relationship between sexual exploration and spiritual exploration? Can romantic relationships and sexual promiscuity shift, split, or even shatter religious identity? Is the much-hyped "hook up culture" during college a reality-or do students just take it on "faith," without investigating whether activities behind closed doors support this perception? Her findings will surprise you. In this talk Freitas reports what she learned in her study, but also asks students to think with her about what the situation is like at Hofstra.
