The symposium will examine ways of developing research on young people?s sexual cultures, building on existing work on young people, sex and relationships within the context of a ?sexualized? and media-saturated culture. Sex education and media literacy emerge as important factors in the way young people develop sexual knowledge and form mature sexual identities. Academic work and governmental policies highlight both as crucial for the development of cultural citizenship and for personal, social and health education, and for participation in society. Media literacy and sex education both remain undeveloped in the UK, and the study of young people?s engagements with sexual issues remains a relatively unexplored area. The symposium will explore the theoretical, ethical and methodological issues at stake in this area of work, reviewing existing knowledge and discussing the possibilities for innovative research across disciplinary and professional boundaries.
