Dating apps, which recently have celebrated their first decade of existence, have become a select space for looking for potential partners and exploring preferences. Online dating has revolutionized the search for love and sexual and romantic connections. But is it all glitter and rainbows?
On the one hand, dating applications multiply our options by enabling us to explore beyond our social circles, develop feelings of belonging to specific communities, and increase feelings of empowerment when it comes to dating. On the other hand, dating applications can unfortunately open the gate to a flood of online violence, ghosting, fetishization, or even to the exacerbation of the anxiety that comes with option overload (too many options can feel like not enough!).
The Night Confessions event aims to be a safer space for exploring and discussing the wonders and miseries of dating apps. To do so, journalist and columnist Laïma A. Gérald (Club Sexu, URBANIA, ELLE Québec) engages with three guests with various expertise in order to better understand the issues generated by these algorithm-based virtual worlds.

(in French)
October 10 at 6 PM*
*With an exclusive visit of the exhibition from 4 PM to 6 PM
A panel presented in French by UQAM's Department of Sexology in conjunction with the Sex, Desire and Data exhibition. Hosted by Rose-Aimée Automne T. Morin.
Price: Free, reservations required
Age: 16 years old +
Where: PHI Centre | 407 Saint-Pierre St, Montreal, QC, H2Y 2M3
Rose-Aimée Automne T. Morin, host, columnist and author, will lead the discussion on a panel made up of four members of UQAM's Department of Sexology teaching staff (Julie Lavigne, Dominic Prévost-Beaulieu, Simon Corneau and Maude Lecomte).
The panel will offer a multifaceted look at sexuality in the digital age. How have digital advances affected the production and use of sexually explicit material? What is the place of queer and feminist pornography in new forms of digital representation? How have dating apps changed the way people date?
UQAM's Department of Sexology, a trailblazer in Quebec, is a unique teaching and research centre whose activities cover a range of themes and training courses linked to current issues in sexuality and sexual health.
