Christopher Ryan, PhD, is a co-author of New York Times bestseller Sex at Dawn. Having lived and worked all over the world, Christopher draws upon his multi-cultural experience in his research, and focuses on trying to distinguish the human from the cultural. He’s been featured in major national media, both conventional (e.g., MSNBC, Canada’s CBC-TV, Oprah Radio, CNN, NPR, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Outside magazine) and Internet-based (e.g., Salon.com, Seed.com, Big Think, and Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish blog over a dozen times). Watch an interview.

You can also rub elbows with Chris Ryan at a formal reception and dinner on Friday, November 4th as we celebrate the author’s contributions to science and an enlighted study of human sexuality and relationships.

Please note: Tickets for the reception dinner are sold seperately.

Money raised will support the author’s ongoing research and outreach as well as help the Sex, Love & Spirit Coalition bring other stimulating speakers to the Rose City.
