Introduction to Gender & Sexuality.

Catalog description

This course introduces students to basic concepts, terms, and definitions in the study of gender and sexuality from global and interdisciplinary perspectives. It teaches students to critically evaluate how patriarchy and heteronormativity control gender expression and experiences of sexuality. The course will help students develop critical thinking and analytical skills to examine the role of socio-cultural practices, political-economic structures, racial-ethnic hierarchies, or religious beliefs in the social construction of gender and sexuality.
