Her research explores how people maintain happy relationships (e.g., dating, marital, and friendship) and the associated challenges. One element of Harasymchuk\u2019s 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\u2019s expectations for excitement in relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ummni Khan
\n<\/strong>Professor, Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email<\/strong>: Ummni.Khan@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khan can discuss anything kink related, the issues associated with compulsory coupledom for single people, and the value of self-love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
