This week Keely is joined by York sexuality studies alumna Alexandra Latter. They discuss Alex’s time at York and her work in virtual healthcare and mental health services during the pandemic. Alex shares how a sexuality studies degree can help in a variety of industries and the unexpected benefits of having a sexuality and gender studies background in tech.
