Research Description
My dissertation, “Hot-Blooded Teens and Silver Screens: Transnational Sex Education between the United States and Sweden, 1910-1960s,” is a transnational cultural history that investigates the development of the movements for sex education in the United States and Sweden from 1910 through 1960, the interactions between these two countries, and their signature method of education: the sex education film.
