Course Title:
Gender, Sexuality, and Culture
Course Description:
Examines the construction of sexuality in western social sciences, its deconstruction by critics, and differential communities. Because the greatest challenges to western social scientific constructions of sexuality come from the margins of the dominant culture, the course pays close attention to nonheterosexual and nonwestern formulations of identity, experience, and lifestyle. Critically reads the work of Freud, Ellis, Kinsey, Margaret Mead, Levi-Strauss, and Foucault, feminist theorists, and others. Focuses on the experiences of people of color in the United States and in a range of other countries.
