Knox hopes students leave the Feb. 12th event “with a new perspective”

Belle Knox, a porn star and Duke University student, has been hired to be the keynote speaker at “Sex Week” sponsored by Lafayette College in the heart of Pennsylvania’s conservative Bible Belt.

“I am so honored to speak at Lafayette on my experiences in the industry and my views on feminism,” said Knox. “I hope that students leave with a new perspective.”

Knox skyrocketed to national attention after she was outed by a fellow Duke student after anonymously writing an article about porn in the school newspaper.

Knox said she looked to porn to help pay Duke’s sky-high tuition. Despite calls for her to withdraw, the university stood behind her.

During “Sex Week,” she’ll give a presentation on the porn industry titled “Behind the Flickering Screen: The Reality of Adult Entertainment.”

The 19-year-old will be telling her personal tale about her voyage into the adult entertainment world, the reaction of family and friends, and the highlights and lowlights of her career. A Q&A will follow her lecture.

Lafayette College Sex Week, created by the Office of Gender and Sexuality Programs at the college, is co-sponsored by the Lafayette Activities Forum, the Office of Student Leadership and Involvement, the Association of Lafayette Feminists, the Women’s and Gender Studies Department, and Nia.
