First Seminars in SexualitiesCourses
Interdisciplinary Concentration in SexualitiesThis concentration explores the ways human sexuality is regulated, celebrated, expressed, constructed, marketed and experienced. Students learn about public debates over sexual issues, expressions of sexuality and sexual identity. Upon completion of the concentration, students will understand the complex intertwining systems between human sexuality and privilege, government, religion and other social institutions. They will be able to recognize and analyze relationships between private sexual expressions and public sexual debates, and ways in which the private and the public are constructed in relation to each other. While the students' choices will determine the material covered, students will study common themes such as sex roles, gender roles, reproductive rights, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered identities, GBLT civil rights, sexual violence, sexual desire, debates about sex education, media representations of sexuality, and sexual hierarchies.
