Gender Studies 280 - Sexuality,Society and Culture

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

An exploration of the cultural facets of our sexuality and how we come to understand sexuality in our everyday lives. Are sexual feelings biological, or do they emerge from particular historical and social formations? How does sexuality come to operate as something that is just natural? What does love have to do with it? How has the concept of sexuality shifted from sex acts to sexual identities? How is sexuality linked to race, class and gender? How is sexuality linked to the political? The answers to these questions provide a broad understanding of gender and sexuality studies. We will rigorously examine the concept of sexuality through theoretical, empirical and creative frameworks.
