CSOT Lecture Series
(2024–2025)
The 2024–2025 academic year included a private Lecture Series built for CSOTs and current enrollees. These sessions tackled everything OTs are asking about but aren’t trained to handle—like kink accessibility, desire as occupation, ethical consent, post-injury intimacy, and more.
These lectures were live and followed by peer-led networking. Kathryn’s lectures were recorded for ongoing access in the CSOT Community.
Final Upcoming Lecture:
Pornography: What OTs Need to Know for Clinical Practice
with Drs. Emily Rothman
& Kathryn Ellis
April 16th, 2025
Let's break the silence around porn viewing as an occupation. OTs will learn about sexually explicit media (i.e., pornography). Why do people look at sexually explicit media? Is any pornography made ethically? Is pornography addictive? What is the impact of pornography on youth, mental health, sexual functioning, and relationships? These questions--and more--will be addressed.
Want access to the final lecture plus Kathryn’s recorded CSOT lectures on “Desire & Arousal” and “Program Development”
