After a year of isolation, how can we continue to form and sustain intimate connections virtually? How can we meet our romantic and sexual needs when we’re having to keep six feet apart? Join us for a conversation about how dating apps are allowing people to foster healthy connection and maintain intimacy while we navigated the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ll be featuring special guest, Chris Dietzel, PhD candidate at McGill University researching sexual consent related to dating app use and sexual violence against 2SLGBTQ+ people; Chris will provide a brief presentation before our panelists join him in a fireside chat to understand how dating apps are being used to navigate the pandemic and how intersecting factors influence our experiences.
