What is ‘kink’?
Professor Ummni Khan explores the perceived ‘touchy’ topic in an interview featured in the The Daily Xtra.
The article entitled, “Why is self-harm from BDSM more suspect than from extreme sports?“, written by Adrienne Asach, was published just the past Monday (June 9). In it, Prof. Khan discusses the legal and social implications of being kinky and kink’s intersection with queerness.
The interview is timely, providing a suggestive nod to the upcoming launch for Prof. Khan’s new book, Vicarious Kinks: S/M in the Socio-Legal Imaginary. All are welcome to attend the launch event, which takes place Wednesday (June 11) at Venus Envy (226 Bank St, Ottawa) at 7pm.
