The NSRC Summer Institute at San Francisco State University is a three-week intensive program focused on sexuality. Led by an interdisciplinary team of experts in the field of sexualities, this program provides a unique opportunity for 40-50 scholars, students and professionals to explore contemporary research and practice, develop networks in the field, and apply new knowledge in their work. It draws from the resources of the NSRC and SFSU (its faculty and staff), and its strategic location in the city of San Francisco , California . The Summer Institute emphasizes—but is not limited to—the role of North American cultures and policies in shaping contemporary sexualities. Participants receive 5 academic units through SFSU.
