Dr Monique Mulholland

My research works with feminist, queer and post-colonial/critical race theory to explore young people’s negotiations and experiences of gender, sex and sexuality norms, subjectivities and identities. This research has focussed on topics such as pornography, sex and relationships education, media representations of race and sexuality, and cultural diversity and sex education

My recent articles include Parents, Whiteness and Sex Education: Parents, Whiteness and Sex Education: A critical race critique of sex education guides (Sexualities 2021), Sexy and Sovereign? Aboriginal models hit the multi-cultural mainstream, and Sex Education and Cultural Diversity (forthcoming 2023)

In particular, my research is undertaken with community partner with a focus on strategies, interventions and resource production to tackle issues of gender, sex and race inequality. My current projects include 1) ‘Sex Education and Cultural Diversity' How can sex education better account for multiple lives and experiences? and 2) The needs of girls with early menarche in South Australian primary schools

I am a member of the executive committee of the Australian Womens' and Gender Studies Association.
