Asexuality and aromanticism are not very well researched and, as a result, not very well understood. Lack of understanding can contribute to stigma to which asexual (or ace) people are already subjected. Ace Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness about asexuality, build community, and create change around the world.
Last Friday on Meet the Community, we spoke with Dr. Megan Carroll, Professor of Sociology at CSU San Bernardino. Dr. Carroll is a pioneer in the field of asexuality research. To learn more about Dr. Carroll’s findings and ongoing projects, watch the full interview on our Facebook page!
Dr. Carroll provided us with some great ACE resources/recommendations as well:
