HST 4120. History of Sexuality (3 credits)


This course explores the historical construction of prescribed notions of gender and sexuality, and can be focused on American, European, Asian, and other non-western societies or a combination of the above. By examining a variety of written, video, and audio textual sources, the course objectives consist of gaining a greater understanding of how prescribed sexual norms have been socially constructed and how these ideals defining acceptable and respectable sexual behavior have changed over time and vary among distinct social groupings. The course will also explore the intersection of class, race, and gender by examining how these have blended together to shape sexual behavior and attitudes.
