The Consent Academy's mission is to teach about consent in all of its complexity and potential. While our collective has our own unique understanding and model of consent, we encourage you to engage with other perspectives, knowing that there are many different ways to practice consent. Below is a non-exhaustive, diverse list of resources to further learn about consent. We hope you enjoy, and if you have suggestions to add to this page, please reach out.
