Desc: | HOW TO DO THE HISTORY OF SEXUALITY: Researching and writing the history of sexuality presents a unique set of challenges. At many times and places sex has been supposed to be confined to the "private" sphere and so the kinds of evidence that historians often rely on can be difficult to find. Sex is also highly policed, with the result that the diversity of sexual practices is often hidden--"what ought to be" is radically different from "what is." This course will investigate how historians have responded to these challenges to understand how sexual practices, ideologies, identities and regulatory systems have changed over time. We will explore innovative approaches to evidence as well as theoretical frameworks for thinking about the relationship between private and public, experience and identity, practice and power. Most of our examples will be drawn from the United States, but where useful we will compare the U.S. experience to other locales as well.
