Rachel Ezrol graduated from Emory University in the spring of 2014 with a degree in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies. During her time as an undergraduate, she served as a healthy sexuality intern with Emory’s Office of Health Promotion where she developed a comprehensive sex-positive resource guide and worked to organize Emory’s first ever Sex Week. She currently volunteers with the Feminist Women’s Health Center and is working to get her newly formed 501c3, Redefine Normal Inc., up and running. Rachel received the Knight of Emory Spirit Award in 2014, a distinction awarded to two outstanding seniors who are unsung heroines, having made great contributions to the University with passion and selflessness.  After serving as Professor Martha Albertson Fineman’s research assistant following graduation, Rachel eagerly embraced her new position as Program Coordinator.  With the support of the Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative, Rachel is working on a policy paper to serve as foundational support for her non-profit, a paper exposing the implications of abstinence-only-until-marriage curricula, further demonstrating the need for a reimagined approach to school-based sex education. In addition to her work with the Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative at Emory, Rachel participates in a community-driven Clemency Project wherein a coalition of passionate volunteers are working to ameliorate the obstacles confronting survivor defendants within the criminal justice system.
