Educating Sex. Under Socialism and After

How have people been learning, practicing and knowing sexuality, gender roles and gender awareness before and after 1989? What imprint did the social and political transformations leave on historical legacies, actors and structures of sexual education? And which practical and cognitive challenges do sex educators face in Poland since then, and in comparison to other countries?
