Cheryl Harasymchuk
Professor, Department of Psychology at Carleton University
Email: Cheryl.Harasymchuk@carleton.ca
Harasymchuk is available to speak to journalists about relationship topics, including maintaining passion in long-term relationships, the importance of date nights and shared leisure in intimate relationships, and dispelling the happy wife, happy life myth.
Her research explores how people maintain happy relationships (e.g., dating, marital, and friendship) and the associated challenges. One element of Harasymchuk’s research focuses on relational boredom, how people come to be bored in their relationships, the effects that boredom has on relationships, and how people cope. In addition, she investigates the engagement of novel couple activities and people’s expectations for excitement in relationships.

Ummni Khan
Professor, Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University
Email: Ummni.Khan@carleton.ca
Khan can discuss anything kink related, the issues associated with compulsory coupledom for single people, and the value of self-love.
She can also discuss the importance of friend-love and challenging compulsory romance, as well as new aromantics/demiromantics identities that can be marginalized by holidays.
Khan researches the socio-legal construction of deviant sexuality, with a focus on kink, sex work, and representations of hard-core eroticism. Scrutinizing law alongside pop culture and progressive social movements, she considers how the policing of sexual risk discounts non-normative desires, and further entrenches other marginalities, particularly with regard to race, class, and disability.
