Join Jonathan Ball Publishers for the launch of Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality by Dr Julia Shaw in Cape Town!

The event will be moderated by Mohale Mashigo.

Bi explores all that we know about the world’s largest sexual minority. It is a personal journey that starts with Shaw’s own openly bisexual identity, and celebrates the resilience and beautiful diversity of the bi community.

From the hunt for a bi gene, to the relationship between bisexuality and consensual non-monogamy, to asylum seekers who need to prove their bisexuality in a court of law, there is more to explore than most have ever realised.

Shaw is a criminal psychologist at University College London. She is actively involved in bisexual research, and is the founder of the international Bisexual Research Group. Shaw also has a hit BBC podcast, Bad People, where together with her co-host she uses research to examine some of society’s most pressing issues. She is the author of The Memory Illusion, which was published in 20 languages, and Making Evil, which was a bestseller in Canada and Germany.
