Episode 10: Sexuality, Technology, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Sheila Briggs is Associate Professor of Religion and Gender Studies at the University of Southern California.
Briggs discusses her approach to research and pedagogy at the intersection of sexuality, technology, and modernity. According to Briggs, sexuality shapes the full range of our interpersonal relationships. We are present to one another not only as friends and lovers but also as citizens, workers and consumers. The impacts of technology in one area of our lives affect us in others: one cannot isolate our interpersonal relationships from how we are economic and political actors. To think about how technological innovation is affecting our sexuality, we need to go beyond a discussion of social media and dating apps.
