Bill taverner, ma, cse
Founder & president
Bill Taverner, MA, CSE, is the founder of the Sex Ed Lecture Series and the editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Sexuality Education. Bill started the series in March 2020 to help sexuality educators stay connected and continue learning during the pandemic. He is the author or editor of more than 85 publications, including teaching manuals and curricula, college readers, journal articles, chapters, lesson plans, and other contributions in sexuality education. His newest publications include “Sex Ed Lessons from COVID-19,” Sex Ed During a Pandemic, and Sex Education Research: A Look Between the Sheets. The latter two are in development and are expected to be in print in 2022.
Bill has twice advocated for sexuality education at U.S. Congressional briefings and has received national awards recognizing his leadership in sexuality education: the AASECT Book Award, given by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists for his work on Teaching Safer Sex, 3rd Edition; AASECT’s first “Schiller Prize” for the best workshop using interactive strategies; the AASECT Sexuality Educator of the Year Award; the Academy for Adolescent Health’s Social Justice Award for commitment to racial and social justice; Planned Parenthood’s “Golden Apple Award” for leadership in sexuality education; and a Sexual Intelligence award naming him named “one of the country’s pre-eminent sex educators, trainers, and sex education theorists.”
