Notes from a (retiring) porn scholar – teaching porn studies in Canada: a (very brief) reflection

ABSTRACT

What does it mean to teach Porn Studies? How has the inclusion of Porn Studies inside the undergraduate university curriculum changed the university – or has it? What have we learned after some 30 years of teaching inside the academy? I explore these and other questions, arguing that very little of the structure of university teaching has changed with the inclusion of Porn Studies.
