This course is an introduction to an intersecting range of theories, issues, and topics within the field of gender and sexuality studies. The class will explore the historical context of feminist responses to patriarchal structures and a number of sexual identities beyond the historical male/female division, including lesbian, gay, queer, transgender, inter-, and asexuality. These frameworks of understanding will be used to deeply consider a wide range of issues in terms of relationships, social practice, political policies, and art and culture.
