Associate Professor Joel Anderson: Monogamy versus non-monogamy

Kids & Family, LGBTIQA+ Community, Mental Health, Psychology, Relationships, Sexuality, Society & Culture

For a long time, most of us have been told that sticking with one partner is the key to a happy, lasting relationship. But what if that is not the whole truth?

Guest: Associate Professor Joel Anderson, a Principal Research Fellow at the Australian Research Centre in Sexuality, Health and Society at La Trobe University
