Dr Sophie King-Hill is an Associate Professor at the University of Birmingham. She specialises in sexual behaviours and assessment in children and young people, sexual health, sibling sexual abuse, misogyny, relationships & sex education and the importance of youth voice.

The focus of this episode is the Netflix series “Adolescence” and the response we’ve seen on social media and the news since its release.

I talk to Sophie about:

- What the program gets right

- Problems with the program and the response we’ve seen on the internet and in the news

- Her thoughts on the proposal to show the program in schools and her reaction to anti-misogyny classes for boys

- What would be effective in tackling these issues

- The work her and her colleagues are doing to help move things in the right direction

- & much more
