#SexEducator of the Week: Bill Taverner

What project in sex ed are you currently working on?

Sue Milstein and I have finished editing Positive Images: Teaching about Contraception and Sexual Health, which was recently published! I am also working on the 13th edition of Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Human Sexuality with Ryan McKee, and a few other projects in line. And, of course, the National Sex Ed Conference!
