A former staff writer for the Village Voice, she has written for New York Magazine and the New York Times. She is currently an adjunct faculty at Columbia University's Journalism School.
*Judith Steinhart, sexpert, host of Sexuali-Teas and creator of Hey Jud, answers your anonymous, most personal questions about sex with frankness and humor. Also known as a Clinical Sexologist, Judith Steinhart, EdD, has answered questions about sex for Go Ask Alice!, which she co-created, and for thousands of college students and adults for over 25 years. She believes that knowledge is power.
*Filmakers Kimberly M. Wetherell & Amy Axelson join us in our screening room to show their short documentary, Why We Wax, a hilarious look at modern culture's obsession with hair removal.

"down there."
