This course offers a comparative analysis of sexual attitudes and behaviors in Spain and the United States. Spain provides a unique contrast with its progressive and open sexual culture, being one of the most LGBTQ-friendly countries in the world and home to a burgeoning ethical porn industry. We will explore these aspects and their implications. Students will also delve into LGBTQ issues in Spain and experience Barcelona's culture to broaden their global perspective.

Course fee is $1597 (plus fees) per student for registration.

• It includes:
  All lectures/workshops with Dr. Justin Lehmiller

• All events with guest speakers

• All cultural excursions and adventures

Students are responsible for their own transportation, hotel accommodations, and meals during the program. Barcelona's public transportation system is excellent, allowing students to choose accommodations further from the city center to reduce costs. We will facilitate the option for students to pair up and share rooms to further minimize expenses as the program date approaches.

It is essential for students to book their own flights and hotel accommodations, aiming to arrive in Barcelona no later than early-afternoon on September 22nd, with activities commencing at 4:00 PM that day. For departures, students should plan to leave on September 26th or later.

Additionally, feel free to extend your stay in Barcelona before or after the course as desired. We will provide a comprehensive list of optional activities for those who want to explore more of the city. Please note that all fees are non-refundable, though they can be transferred between SHA students, programs, and events. Some activities may change depending on availability.

We will stay in the city center of Barcelona to be close to most of our activities for the week. We will meet at a central hotel most days, and many students will also choose to stay at that same hotel. We will provide the hotel's details and address soon after you reserve your spot. Please note, you can book accommodations anywhere you prefer—the options we send are only suggestions and our meeting point.

You do not need to be a SHA student or member to attend! But, we're sure you will be forever a SHA fan at the end of the program! You'll also most likely be Justin's new bff! ;)

Yes! Many of our students will attend more than one program. Each program offers different experiences, insights and perspectives. Some will even travel together between cities if the dates line up. Come to one, two or all of them!
