Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This is an introductory survey of the major issues and controversies in the fields of gender and sexuality studies. Broadly interdisciplinary, it introduces students to social constructionist and essentialist conceptions of gender and sexuality; explores the relationship between gender and sexuality; and considers the intersection of gender and sexuality with other categories of identity such as class, race, and nationality. It also engages questions of ideology and representation, asking how stereotypes have contributed to constraining and emancipating individuals through their gender and sexuality. Course materials are drawn from a range of disciplines, including sociology, psychoanalysis, history, anthropology, and literary and film studies. 1.00 units, Lecture
