HIST 115 - Sexuality in the West from 1750 to the Present

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 45

Sexuality has a past and western views of sexuality have changed dramatically since 1750. This course uses lectures, seminar readings, music, film and images to explore the beliefs and social practices through which sexual identities are created and transformed. By introducing sexuality as a category of analysis, then examining some of the main theories and concepts developed in Western society since the 18th century, this course will examine the ways in which sexual identity and behaviour have been fundamentally reorganized in Western societies and imposed on both indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.
