70 Years After the Kinsey Reports: Is Data Science Improving Our Sex Studies (and Lives?)


Listen Later

On today’s episode we commemorate the publication of the Kinsey Reports, two scholarly books by Alfred Kinsey on human sexual behavior, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953). These reports were among the earliest research studies to look at sexual behavior, but they also raise important questions for the data science community concerning ethics and bias. We explore those questions and more with the help of two experts. 

Our Guests:

  • Dr. Justin Garcia, Executive Director of the Kinsey Institute and the Ruth N. Halls Professor of Gender Studies at Indiana University, and Co-Chair of Human Sexuality and Health at the Indiana University School of Medicine. 
  • Dr. Carlos Rodriguez-Diaz, Associate Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Prevention and Community Health at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. Dr. Rodriguez-Diaz is also the President of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.
