Subject:

English

Description:

In this women's studies class, students will explore how women's sexuality has been a site of abuse, reproduction, pleasure, political control, perversion, and subversive agency. Students will consider how theories and viewpoints on women's sexuality and violence against women are shaped by cultural assumptions about race, class, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. The course will engage the study of theoretical texts like Foucault's The History of Sexuality, literature like Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Kate Chopin's "The Storm," and current issues in women's sexuality such as human trafficking and sex work that has enslaved millions of young women worldwide. 3 credits
