The aim of the working group is to develop a proposal for the establishment of a DFG Priority Programme on the topic of “Second Sexual Revolution? Changing sexuality in the digitalised world: phenomena, causes, effects”. This subject area is characterised by an enormous discrepancy between its scientific and social significance and the scientific attention it has received to date. The SPP would largely break new ground both empirically and theoretically. The starting point of the research programme is changes in sexual behaviour in connection with digitalisation, in particular the implementation of online media.
Two meetings were held, bringing together the five people from different disciplines who applied for the priority programme. The group of participants was expanded to include further experts.
The joint work resulted in a 25-page proposal, which was submitted to the DFG on 15 October 2018.
