HC 889 - History of Sexuality in the Contemporary West

3 credits
This seminar explores some of the major themes and milestones in the history of sexuality in the United States and Europe. Our examination begins in the late nineteenth century, with the emergence of a “modern” sexuality. Following a theoretical introduction to the field, the course will address, among other topics, the invention of homo- and hetero- sexuality; sexual citizenship; challenges to sex- and gender- binaries; sex work and the regulation of sexual bodies; and race and disability in the construction of normative and queer sexuality.
