GST 24000 Sex, Power & Social Change - Honors

We will explore sex, gender, and sexuality with a focus on identity and activism and examine how language reflects and constitutes intersectional sex, gender, and sexual identities through history and across cultures. We will also investigate how sex, gender, and sexuality activism are intertwined with how we conceive the world, use language, and communicate. These explorations will take us through topics such as beauty ideals, the U.S., women’s movement, homosexualities through history, modern gay liberation, international women’s rights, the telling of history (historiography), and how activism is conceptualized. A Honors Signature Assignment --- scholarly research paper or project is required.
