HS 390 - Gender and Sexuality in Latin America

(3.00 cr.)

Examines how the role of gender and sexuality in Latin American societies, cultures, economies, and religions has changed over time. Using sources such as books, articles, videos, images, oral histories, and primary documents, the course investigates the history of gender and sexuality with a particular emphasis on deconstructing such socially constructed binaries as femininity/masculinity, male/female, and homosexuality/heterosexuality. The course also focuses on the ways class, ethnicity, race, age, religion, and other identities affect men's and women's realities. Gender and sexuality provide fresh perspectives on the ways the past is reconstructed.

Prerequisite: One HS 100-level course.
Sessions Typically Offered: Fall/Spring
Years Typically Offered: Varies
