Beyond Birth Control: Feminist Perspectives on Women's Sexualities

Catalog description

This course explores various aspects of women¿s sexualities from an interdisciplinary and intersectional feminist perspective. Assigned reading from feminist theory, social science research, and feminist sexologists will explore: the female body and embodied identities; the social construction of sexualities; sexual rights; sexual pleasure and desire; impacts of racism, poverty, sexism, heterosexism and transphobia on sexual identities; and how women make meaning of their sexual experiences. We also investigate models of sex and sexuality education that attend to queer and trans desire, sexuality and sexual identities.
