WGS 243 Global Sexualities

This course explores how the movements of people across borders, whether for exploration, work, leisure, or war, shaped and reconfigured ideas about gender, sex, and sexuality during the modern period. Using an intersectional approach, it interrogates how shifting discourses about gender and sexuality worked to produce difference and hierarchies along the lines of race, class, nationality, and religion, and how they served to establish, legitimize, and maintain various regimes of power and their inherent inequalities.
