Non/Monogamy: Rewriting the Rules

During this presentation Dr Meg John Barker, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Open University will provide an overview of common forms of non/monogamous relationships. They will make the point that, as with sexual and gender identities, recent years have seen a proliferation in terminology which has challenged previous binary understandings of monogamy vs. non-monogamy. For this reason it is more helpful to consider key ways in which people navigate their relationships, rather than focusing on whether they - or their relationships - are monogamous or non-monogamous. During this presentation Dr Meg John Barker will touch upon a number of different ways of exploring this, as well as considering some alternative understandings of 'open relationships'.

A sandwich lunch will be provided.
