Gen&WS 536: Queering Sexuality Education

This course situates sexual health education in historical and contemporary context by tracing its discursive production and envisioning a queering of both content and practice. What might it mean to queer sex education and what would a queer sex education look like? In addition to utilizing theoretical interventions from critical education studies, queer theory, and transgender studies, we will engage in action based course projects such as policy analysis or curricula design and implementation.
