USSY 230 - Sexualities, Citizenship, and Social Action

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

This course will explore themes in both the symbolic and cultural domains. While sexuality and citizenship, in reality and in academic discourse, cuts across the areas, this course will consider methods and concepts (see syllabus for details) in the human sciences and humanities. In the humanities, students will learn fundamental ideas in the philosophy of social science. They will be taught how to recognize, in social theory(s) and theorizing, underlying arguments: ontological, epistemological, and methodological. It is not our purpose to add these ideas to our conceptual language within a discipline or to a specific topic; we will explore how they can be applied to other areas of learning and practice. They will then be applied to a current and highly controversial aspect of academic and political practice: to explore the relationship between sexuality and citizenship. Prereq: Passing letter grade in a 100 level first year seminar in USFS, FSSY, FSCC, FSNA, FSSO or FSCS. Prereq or Coreq: FSTS 100
