Description:

In this class we will use sociological perspectives to explore sex, sexuality, and gender. We will examine the mechanisms of power that construct and regulate our identities, behaviors, and very bodies. In particular we will look at how sex, sexuality, and gender are shaped by law, research, medicine, "sexperts," the media,and our family and friends. We will also look at how sex, sexuality, and gender permeate our daily lives often in ways we do not even see. Prerequisite: SOC 101 Introduction to Sociology
