Sex doctor teaching Human Sexuality Spring course at Brock

Let's Talk Sex - Chalkboard

He’s a clinical sexologist with a knack for the creative and he’s ready to teach Brock University students what he knows best – everything to do with sex.

Brock alumnus Dr. Martin Dragan, who holds a doctoral degree in human sexuality, is teaching the Spring course, Introduction to Human Sexuality, in the Department of Health Sciences.

Calling sex one of the most “overlooked subjects in health research and clinical practice,” Dragan says the course “will amaze, inspire, and intrigue” students. “I think there is a certain interest in these types of classes or topics because we have a natural inclination to be curious about it. Especially when it comes to sex, because it’s so diverse, complex and fascinating to us. We are a product of it, and it’s such a big part of our own lives and health, yet we rarely talk about it in a frank and open manner. This provides a safe venue to explore that topic, to help learn about and explore our own unique natures.”

Introduction to Human Sexuality has historically been a popular course at Brock because of the dynamic content and the teaching style of Tony Bogaert, the course’s usual instructor. “With Tony being on sabbatical, former student Martin Dragan has embraced the opportunity to teach this course with the same dynamic flare,” said Brent Faught, Chair, Department of Health Sciences.

Dragan describes his teaching style as “part performance, part clinically relevant with a dash of self-deprecating humour, mixed in with a great soundtrack … Basically, I try to make the information I present interesting and applicable.”

“I am excited to see this course listed among our growing array of Spring Summer courses for 2015” said Anna Lathrop, Vice-Provost, Teaching and Learning. “Clearly, the course instructor, Martin Dragan, emulates the same level of energy and passion in this area of study as his former mentor—Dr. Tony Boegart. This course promises to be a great one for our students.”
