This course will take the students on a virtual trip around the globe! Embark on a journey through the diverse world of BDSM as we explore its practices and traditions across different cultures. This course examines how BDSM is understood, practiced, and accepted in various cultural contexts, highlighting the universal themes and unique global variations. Participants will gain insights into the ways cultural backgrounds influence BDSM dynamics, consent, and community standards. The virtual trip ends in the US, where we review the intersection of race in Kink space and critically analyze the current climate for POC.
