The CSR is comprised of faculty, staff, and professional educators, researchers, and therapists with an interest and background in the field of sexuality. The CSR is as diverse as the population that it serves and is dedicated to the concept that
knowledge provides freedom from ignorance. The CSR does this not only through its formal academic program in sexuality, but also through seminars and conferences on topics of interest, research and publications. Take a moment and look over the following description of the professionals who constitute our associates and the work of the Center for Sex Research.
