4. LS 5100 Sexuality, Gender, & Identity--2 Cr Summer Course
How is one's identity shaped by one's gender identification? To what extent is gender culturally determined and reinforced by social institutions? Can we say if a person is born biologically male, biologically female, or biologically intersexed? How much of gender is determined by biology, how much by individual choice, and how much by external pressures? Why do we consider human subjectivity in terms of masculinity and femininity? And finally, how is sexuality understood as the place where our sexed/gendered bodies and our sexual desires intersect, as shaped by biology, culture, and individual expression? Students will read from a variety of disciplines and critical perspectives, including texts by Sharon Preves, Kate Bornstein, and Judith Butler. Works of creative nonfiction and literary texts by William Giraldi, Lidia Yuknavitch, Carlos Andres Gomez, and others will provide personal accounts of what it means to have a gendered identity in today's world.
