  • On Sadomasochism: Taxonomies and Language
    Nicole Eitmann On Sadomasochism: Taxonomies and Language Governments try to regulate sadomasochistic activities (S/M). Curiously, though, no common definition of S/M exists and there is a dearth of statistically valid social science research on who engages in S/M or how participants define the practice. This makes it hard to answer even the most basic questions shaping state laws and policies with respect to S/M. This paper begins to develop a richer definition of sadomasochistic activities based on the reported common practices of those engaging in S/M. The larger question it asks, though, is why so little effort has been made by social scientists in general and sex researchers in particular to understand the practice and those who participate in it. As many social sci- entists correctly observe, sadomasochism has its “basis in the culture of the larger society.”1 Rethinking sadomasochism in this way may shed some light on the present age. A DEFINITIONAL QUAGMIRE In Montana, sadomasochistic abuse includes the depiction of a per- son clad in undergarments or in a revealing or bizarre costume.2 In Illinois, it is illegal to distribute or sell obscene material—defined in part as “sado- masochistic sexual acts, whether normal or perverted, actual or simu- lated.”3 The lack of a clear definition of what constitutes S/M is one major difficulty in developing appropriate policies with respect to S/M activities. Clearly, S/M means different things to different people, and there is a wide range of possible S/M activities—from light spanking or

  • Indiana University Request for Expressions of Interest
    Indiana University Request for Expressions of Interest IU Libraries Lilly Library Reading Room Bicentennial Murals Released January 23, 2020 A: Introduction B: Submission Requirements C: The Lilly Library Renovation Project Appendix A. Introduction In conjunction with its Bicentennial, Indiana University has been awarded a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to commission and complete a large cycle of aesthetically significant and conceptually cogent murals in the Reading Room of the Lilly Library, located in Bloomington, Indiana. This cherished space will be completely renovated thanks to a previous gift from Lilly Endowment Inc., announced in 2019. A major and arresting cycle of murals that projects a sense of place where powerful ideas are conveyed through the study of original books and documents will proclaim the Reading Room the heart of the Lilly Library. Thousands of hours each year are spent in this Reading Room by scholars, students, and intellectually curious visitors exploring the millions of literary artifacts held in one of the world's great rare books libraries. Once complete, the murals will boldly declare the Lilly Library Reading Room as a treasured destination for all who study and work here. Indiana University seeks to commission a masterwork worthy of the Lilly Library's world-class collections, as well as to highlight the library’s ongoing role in the exuberant and inclusive arts culture of the IU Bloomington campus. Individuals and collectives who have previous experience or who can demonstrate the ability to plan and execute a similar large-scale public art project are invited to apply. International proposals are welcome. Proposed works must be wall mounted and fit into the allocated spaces.

    KINSEY INSTITUTE INDIANA UNIVERSITY FOR ALL THE LIVES Who can answer the questions that people are afraid to ask anyone else? Who can apply science to the mysteries of love, sexuality, and social relationships—and discover how they work to heal the human body? Who can assemble a global database that documents the full spectrum of WE’LL sexual behavior, to help distinguish what is cultural from what is biological? Who can preserve art and artifacts from all corners of the globe that capture centuries of societal views on human sexuality—artifacts that most institutions won’t touch? We can. Together. Sexuality, love, and relationships are fundamental to our identity— IMPROVE as individuals, as communities, as cultures, as a species. Yet they are some of the least understood aspects of our existence. Ignorance, taboos, myths, and fear get in the way. The Kinsey Institute exists to study these phenomena, in all their diversity and complexity. With your help, we can continue to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of love, sexuality, and well-being. Not just to document them, but to foster them and improve them—for all people. For all their lives. “The fact that I, as a supreme court judge, can be open about my sexuality and my relationship, is directly attributable to the scientific work and courage of [Alfred Kinsey] … one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century. He was not only a great American. He was a great human being. People all over the world, like me, are profoundly in his debt.” — The Honorable Michael Kirby Justice, High Court of Australia APPLYING SCIENCE TO SEXUALITY HISTORY From the beginning, the Kinsey Institute has been a pioneer in the objective, scientific study of human FOR ALL WHO sexuality.

  • Patricia Hayes Andrews
    Patricia Hayes Andrews Young scholars hoping to shape a career with a far-reaching and long-lasting legacy would do well to emulate the academic life of Patricia Hayes Andrews. Her research into gender differences in communication, her many accomplishments as an associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences, and her leadership as director of the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program in the Department of Communication and Culture all have been framed and motivated by her generous spirit and genuine interest in supporting IU, her students, and her colleagues. Pat is a Hoosier through and through, earning all of her degrees from IU and spending her entire academic career here. Her B.A., summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, in speech and theater with a minor in French, was awarded in 1970; her M.A. in communication theory and speech education in 1971; and her Ph.D. in communication theory and research in 1974. In 1975 she joined the Department of Speech Communication (now the Department of Communication and Culture) as an assistant professor. In addition to her many published articles, Pat has authored or co-authored five textbooksseveral of which have been revised and published in multiple editions. Not only the field, but also the Department of Communication and Culture bears her impress, and this is partly through the new courses Pat developed. An undergraduate sequence in organizational communication addressed an area of interest among students that otherwise was not being served. A graduate course in pedagogy, designed to train and support associate instructors teaching undergraduate courses within the department, has provided a forum in which graduate students share their teaching experiences and strategies and an opportunity for them to draw upon Pats extensive research and experience in communication pedagogy.

    Indiana University Libraries Bloomington 2020 Diversity Report A documentation of efforts toward Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 as reported to the Office of Vice Provost for Diversity & Inclusion at Indiana University on January 29, 2021. IU Libraries wishes to acknowledge and honor the Miami, Delaware, Potawatomi, and Shawnee people, on whose ancestral homelands and resources Indiana University was built. INTRODUCTION The Office of the Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion partners with campus leaders to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus. Annually this office requests each Indiana University Bloomington unit to report progress toward its individual diversity goals as mapped in unit-based diversity plans. At present, IU Libraries and its Diversity Committee are guided by a plan first established in 2016 and revised periodically. Work is now in progress toward a fresh document informed by library-wide conversation at all levels and based on the foundational values of IU Libraries. Diversity is a Foundational Value of IU Libraries: “IU Libraries esteems DIVERSITY of all kinds, building collections and collaborations to support students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and foster a global, diverse, inclusive community of excellent students, scholars, and teachers. In addition, the Libraries commits to diversifying its own staff to reflect a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds.” —excerpt, IU Libraries Strategic Plan 2016–2020 DIVERSITY LEADERSHIP AT IU LIBRARIES Position

  • The Kinsey Institute Exposed
    The Kinsey Institute Exposed: A Warning to Parents & Governments Throughout the World The Kinsey Institute Exposed: A Warning to Parents & Governments Throughout the World On April 23, 2014 the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction was granted special consul - tative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC). This decision was based in part on misleading testimony 1 regarding the nature of their work provided by a Kinsey Institute representative to the United Nations Committee on Nongovernmental Organizations. From their fraudulent sex research, to their collaboration with pedophiles to publish their sex experiments on chil - dren, to their promotion of risky sexual behaviors as healthy and normal, which has formed the basis of danger - ous sexuality education programs worldwide, the Kinsey Institute has caused incalculable harm to children, adults and families. For this reason the UN’s decision to grant ECOSOC status to the Kinsey Institute has outraged par - ents, government and civic leaders, lawmakers, researchers, and victims of sexual crimes around the world who understand how harmful the Kinsey Institute’s work has been, especially for the world’s children. This brief will show how the past and present actions, goals and aims of the Kinsey Institute merit condemnation and censure rather than the legitimacy, prestige and access that UN consultative status affords them and which enables them to perpetuate their harmful work on a much larger world stage. This brief will also explore: The misleading nature of four major statements the Kinsey Institute made in their testimony before the UN Committee: 1) that they are not an advocacy organization; 2) that they are a research organization; 3) that they promote responsible sexual behavior; and 4) that they work to advance sexual health.
