Dr. Laney Knowlton is joined by Dr. James Wadley, tenured professor, licensed professional counselor, and leader in the field of human sexuality, for a critical conversation on the intersection of race and sexuality. As a scholar-practitioner and founding editor of the Journal of Black Sexuality and Relationships, Dr. Wadley brings a global and interdisciplinary perspective shaped by his work in education, clinical practice, and community engagement.

Together, they explore how race, culture, and systemic inequities influence sexual development, relational experiences, and access to care. The conversation highlights the importance of culturally responsive frameworks, inclusive education, and leadership within the field to better support individuals and communities whose experiences have historically been marginalized or overlooked.
