Class Description:

In this course we will examine social theories and sociological research on the topic of sexuality. We will explore the concept of sexuality as it intersects with race, gender, and class. The course will be divided into three different sections. We will begin by defining sexuality, with a focus on the history of sexuality. Second, we will explore theories of sexuality. The third section of the course will focus on applying these theories through looking closely at contemporary issues and sexuality in film and other popular culture. The course is designed to give you a basic understanding of sociological implications of sexuality in the United States.
