The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University in Bloomington has launched a continuing education initiative as part of its new education program to promote knowledge about sex, sexuality, gender, and relationships. The Kinsey Institute is a certified continuing education sponsor for the American Psychological Association so its continuing education modules can be taken by psychologists for professional credit.
The continuing education program includes modules on sexual consent, gender and sexuality, dating and casual sex, sexual trauma, love, and more, featuring lectures with Kinsey Institute faculty and other renowned experts.
Led by the Kinsey Institute’s newly appointed assistant director for education, Jessica Hille, the continuing education initiative is part of the institute’s overall mission to promote greater understanding of human sexuality and relationships through rigorous research, education, and outreach.
“Educating health care professionals and the public about issues related to sex, gender and sexuality has always been part of the Kinsey Institute’s mission,” Hille said. “The new education program, including the continuing education initiative, will allow us to focus our efforts and provide new educational opportunities to fill critical gaps in knowledge.”
Hille is a graduate of the University of Chicago, where she majored in political science. She holds law degrees from Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Washington and is a doctoral candidate in gender studies at Indiana University.
