I situate teenage con-structions of love, sexuality and desire within a wider social and cultural context underwritten by the histories of colonialism and apartheid, chronic unemployment, poverty, and stark economic and infrastructural inequalities. I show how teenagers’ are deeply invested in—and concerned about—many types of love: queer, romantic, pure, violent, material, and provider.

Her latest co-edited books include Sex and Sexualities, Sexual Health and Justice: Perspectives from Southern Africa (2023, Routledge). Taking into account African teenagers’ in-your-face realities, this paper encourages an acknowledgment of their sexualities that rejects the stereotypes of fear and danger, and offers new entry points into more relevant sexuality education that can meet the needs of those that matter.

C2C: Keynote Speaker Professor Deevia Bhana
Keynote Date: Wednesday 26th June
Keynote Title: Facing South: Love, sex and teenage sexual cultures in South Africa
Abstract: Under conditions of ongoing economic misery and precarious social existences, the sexualities of young South Africans are often positioned within the realm of sexual danger and written and thought about as loveless.

C2C: Keynote Speaker Professor Deevia Bhana
This post is part of the Countdown to Conference (C2C) series. Her latest authored book published by Routledge in 2023, is entitled Girls Negotiating Porn in South Africa.

I draw on a larger research project titled Learning from the Learners, which views teenagers as active agents and has thus generated a more nuanced picture of young peoples’ desires, and the dangers and dilemmas they must navigate as they explore their sexuality.
I argue that teenagers’ conceptions of love, romance, fear and desire serve as important anchors in the social constitution of teenage sexuality; conversely, the expression of sexuality is often distressing in the context of structural violence, cultural norms, the regulation of female sexuality, and the hegemonic power of heterosexuality.
Among her recent book publications are Love, Sex and Teenage Sexual Cultures in South Africa; 16 turning 17 (2018) and Childhood Sexuality and AIDS Education: The price of innocence (2016); Gender and Childhood Sexuality in Primary School (2016) and Under Pressure: the regulation of sexualities in South African Secondary Schools (2014).
She co-chairs RINGS- an international gender association and is one of the Chief Editors of Children and Society and Pedagogy Culture and Society.Her research lies in the areas of gender, sexuality, children, young people and schooling. It remains an embryonic field of study, and in this keynote presentation I join in the conversation in facing teenage sexualities in the South.
