L77 WGSS 383ATopics in WGSS:Sex in the City: Gender, Sexuality, and the Urban Landscape3.0 Units
Description:What is the relationship between sex and the urban life? Cities have long functioned as the epicenter of sexual freedom and expression through the creation of robust networks and communities for subcultures to thrive. They can also be sites of hypersurveillance, administrative violence, and sexual regression through the implementation of various technologies of governance aimed at managing and regulating both sexuality and the cityscape. This course examines the relationship between sexuality, gender and the urban landscape by framing sexuality and gender as active agents in the production, management, and morphology of the urban landscape while simultaneously examining the role that the city has played in shaping understandings of sexuality and gender. Our main focus will be on the ways in which urban social relations and practices, spaces, and institutions are imbedded within and in turn circulate sexual and gendered meaning. The course will introduce students to the interdisciplinary study of urbanity and sexuality through the synthesis of theories, concepts, and insights from history, social science, literature, public policy, and geography. It will give students a critical lens to read and interpret urban landscapes and the variegated sexual and gendered meanings that organize them. Topics covered will include: prostitution/sex work; LGBT identity formation; sexual violence; and public versus private.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
