This course offers a critical analysis of the concept of sex and love, particularly as it has developed in the Western philosophic tradition.

This course applies rhetorical analysis to essays, speeches, documentary films, visual media, and artifacts from activist organizations, all in an effort to understand better the techniques that gender activists use to mobilize, to challenge, and to create change. Prerequisites: RPW 110 and GS 100, or permission of instructor. (Writing-intensive course) Laboratory fee.
