Abstract
Financial domination is one of the most misunderstood power play experiences, even by those who practice it. Like any expression of power, it has the potential for abuse and has gotten a rather bad rap because of the exploitation possibilities.
Discover a deeper understanding of the intersection of money, kink, and control with world-renowned expert, author, and researcher Kali Williams. Kali will describe the current financial domination scene, from both findom and finsub perspectives, addressing current issues including practices, platforms used, ethics, and health. She will characterize common misunderstandings of financial domination, and orient the audience to the current popular and academic literatures addressing findom and the need for more and better research addressing financial domination.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Describe financial domination.
Describe three key elements of ethical financial domination.
Critically assess the current scholarly literature addressing financial domination.
Presentation Content Level: Introductory - Intermediate. This webinar will provide an introduction to the topic but also provide an opportunity for discussion at a more advanced level that presupposes basic knowledge of alternative sexualities communities.
