An interdisciplinary study that teaches students the conceptual vocabulary and skills required to analyze and think critically about gender, sexuality, gender relations, and power, and the role of culture in maintaining social norms. The course explores the questions of how gender and sexuality are constructed, how they are represented in different historical, cultural, geographic and social contexts, and how they are understood in the mental health fields. Students engage with texts from various disciplines and examine examples of the expression of these concepts in literature, history, media and film, visual art, music, philosophy, and cultural theory.
