DESCRIPTION:"The Case of the Missing Clitoris: Dis/attending to Sex and Ple
 asure in Healthcare" — In US healthcare\, discussing sex is a fraught endea
 vor\; in many cases it’s easier to just avoid it entirely. Thus sex and ple
 asure are usually not considered on their own but for what they may say abo
 ut reproduction\, pain\, or disease. Professional norms to avoid sex and pl
 easure ostensibly protect parties from sexual violence and undue discomfort
 \, but people trying so hard not to be sexually inappropriate risk missing 
 out on important information and possible solutions. When touching genitals
  is part of extended rehabilitation treatments\, how do people grapple with
  the complexities of safety\, stigma\, and sexuality? \n\nCSWS research fel
 low Bex MacFife presents stories from a sociology study of patients and pro
 viders’ experiences with pelvic floor physical therapy\, where they find th
 at an over-emphasis on desexualization eclipses the full range of sensory e
 mbodiment we are capable of\, which impacts how we feel and perceive our ow
 n and others’ bodies.\n\nMacFife is a white non-binary gynecological teachi
 ng associate and PhD candidate in sociology with an MA in sexuality studies
 . They research the social construction of genitals\, sensory phenomenology
 \, and medical trauma. Outside of academia\, they enjoy participating in mu
 tual aid\, being upside down\, and foraging.
