[Polyamory in] Academia A global, live panel discussion 14th August TBC Ticketed Live Event Sliding Scale Prices (see below for details) |
Polyamory has been a niche subject of academic interest, and it is now on the brink of explosion. Multi-partner mating strategies, models of practical ethics, anthropological critiques of monogamy. The preparation of research takes a lot of time and effort, including designing calls for participation, conducting data collection, and applying critical theory to findings.
Despite the growing interest in polyamory, data can over/under represent a group or race, findings have their limitations, and to often study of non-monogamy finds itself limited to few academic institutions and at the back of a larger conference. In this unique live event - Poly Pages is bringing three academics in a global conversation facilitated discussion about polyamory in academia: Dr Justin Mogilski, Dr Eli Sheff and Dr Kim TallBear. |
[Polyamory in] LiteratureA global, live panel discussion 25th September TBC Ticketed Live Event Sliding Scale Prices (see below for details) |
Why is everyone in literature monogamous? With up to 20% of adults now engage in a non-monogamous dynamic at some point in their life, and many dynamic relationship models available to authors - why is it so hard to find portrayals of polyamory and non-monogamy within the stories that we read?
In this one-off live event, we discuss why polyamorous representation is important, why it’s missing, and how we as readers and writers, can change that. Details to follow... (join our events mailing list and stay up to date) |
White Supremacy [in Polyamory]A global, live panel discussion 19th June 2021 9AM Hawaii | 12PM PST |3PM EST Ticketed Live Event Sliding Scale Prices (see below for details) |
White Supremacy is everywhere - polyamorous people and communities are not immune. Academic research excludes and erases the non-monogamous experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC), play parties privilege and protect white experiences at the expense of BIPOC bodies, and media representations of consensual non-monogamy often centre exclusively white relationships. The work deconstructing systemic structures of white supremacy must begin with critical discussion about the ways these structures shape our relationships with others and with ourselves.
Our facilitator, All of El, will be joined by three BIPOC polyamorous writers, educators and activists: Dr Justin Clardy, Michelle Hy and Marjani Lane. This event will run on Juneteenth - 19th June 2021, at 9AM Hawaii, 12PM PST, 3PM EST. This event is open to all - white people are welcome - but, during the latter part of the event, white participants will be asked to leave and there will be a protected space during this event away from the white gaze. |
Abuse [in Polyamory]A global, live panel discussion 17th April 2021 10am LA | 12 Noon CHI | 1pm NYC | 6pm LON| 7pm PAR Ticketed Live Event Sliding Scale Prices (see below for details) |
Abuse can happen in any relationship, whether you have one partner, two partners, or even more. A polyamorous or non-monogamous relationship is not any more or less likely to be abusive than a monogamous one. Even though poly relationships are not inherently abusive, having multiple partners can create unique situations that abusive people may exploit.
Poly Pages is facilitating a global live event, featuring three polyamorous, seasoned sex and relationship coaches: Alicia Bunyan-Sampson, Eve Rickert and Sydney Raechin. This global event promises to outline what Abuse can look like in polyamory, how we can talk about it, and ways that we can respond to abuse in our relationships and in our communities.

De-coupling is the transition from partnership to other. It can look like a break-up, a divorce, being ghosted, or a conscious amicable dissolution. In polyamory, decoupling offers us many possibilities as well as many challenges.
