Surely it’s not as black and white as we once thought…? Now that we live lon ger\, have we adapted the meaning of ‘one marriage for life’ to ‘one marriage at a time’? She discusses the patriarchal origins of Western m onogamous relationship structures and the male and female monogamy behavio urs and preferences indicated by lesbian and gay divorce rates. How do we make non-monogamous relationships work? What are the rules? How do we nego tiate our boundaries? How does polyamory change the conversation about bre akups and challenge the traditional success / failure narrative that has a lways\, perhaps incorrectly\, celebrated relationship longevity above all else? Rosie Wilby is an award-winning comedian\, author\, speaker and broa dcaster who has appeared many times on BBC Radio 4 programmes including Wo man's Hour\, Saturday Live and Four Thought and at major festivals around the world. The author of the books Is Monogamy Dead? and The Breakup Monol ogues\, she has spent the last decade interviewing scientists\, sociologis ts and psychotherapists to investigate the wild and wacky rollercoaster ri de of human relationships. Known for an immersive and personal style of st orytelling that has earned her the nickname ‘the lesbian Louis Theroux ’\, Rosie has performed comedy at a sex party\, participated in a ‘sex lab’ study and conducted surveys asking ‘what counts as cheating?’ - all in the name of ‘research’. She uses humour to accessibly unpack the life and love lessons she’s unearthed in these unusual situations. S igned copies of both of Rosie’s books\, Is Monogamy Dead? and The Breaku p Monologues\, will be available for sale after the talk.
