Alongside dynamic instructors, you’ll explore sexuality around the world in relation to categories of difference, identity and power, such as ability, age, class, gender, ethnicity, race and religion. You’ll investigate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, intersexed, cissexual, heterosexual and heteronormative identities and cultures – along with alternative ways of organizing sexualities, and alternatives to sexuality in the past, present and future.
In this flexible, well-rounded program, you’ll also have the opportunity to take relevant courses in diverse fields such as history, literature, philosophy, political science and sociology. While you focus on your coursework, you’ll gain valuable expertise that will support any career path you choose.
