Psychology of Sexuality and Sexual Orientation

Catalog description

In this course, you will examine dimensions of human sexuality from physiological, psychological, social, and cultural points of view. You will examine these dimensions via recent empirical research. You will also spend time reflecting upon, and in some cases, debunking preexisting ideas and bias, as personal reflection and growth are critical components of multicultural competence. Topics include an overview of stages of sexual identity development, cultural and individual variations, and stigma and discrimination.
