Student experience

the class

Examine women's sexuality through feminist social science perspectives. Critically engage with influential feminist theories, empirical research, and contemporary debates surrounding topics such as hookup culture, sexual pleasure and desire, the medicalization of women's sexuality, and neoliberal "choice" narratives. Connect scholarly work to real-world contexts - from social media trends and current events to broader policy issues affecting women's sexual lives.
