GSSV 521 - Social and Cultural Evolution of Gender and Sexuality

3
This course explores social movements, media representations, and the cultural acceptance and exclusion of gender and sexual minorities through a historical lens. The continuous friction between acceptance and exclusionary forces sets the foundation for examining concepts in this course. Milestone movements and counter-movements, groups, and participants will be reviewed for their contributions and impacts within the minority communities and society as a whole. Additionally, the evolving portrayal of gender and sexual minorities in the media, and its effect on the cultural landscape, will be analyzed.
