Academic holds thoughtful conference on sexual diversity
Different terms and concepts related to human sexuality were treated with participation and respect in a relaxed conference.
With a large audience of all ages, the third conference was held that ended the first semester of the “Psychology and Contemporary Society” conference cycle. “Sexually diverse: updating basic concepts” was called the talk given by Natalia Guerrero Fernández, psychologist, Master in family and community mediation, clinical sexologist and academic from the Department of Psychology at the University of La Serena.
On the occasion, the academic addressed sexuality as a dimension of human development, detailing the differences between biological sex, gender identity, sexual orientation and gender expression. In addition, she clarified terms such as trans, pansexual, intersex, cisgender, among others that occurred in the conversation.
This cycle is organized by the Department of Psychology in conjunction with the Directorate of Liaison with the Environment and Extension of the ULS, and has had the collaboration of the Cuatro Esquinas Community and Cultural Center, located at Larraín 3505, La Serena.
Finally, the sexologist referred to the cycle in general, and the place where these three initial conferences of the cycle have taken place. “I thought it was wonderful, I think that other times that I have attended activities in this center it is always characterized by offering a very comfortable space and a very varied audience, things that sometimes do not happen, for example, in universities or more academic centers in those who arrive in general or students or teachers, so I feel that doing it here allows people from many different worlds to arrive, and this topic is important to discuss with as many people as possible, so I felt very comfortable,” she expressed.
