HIST 458 - European Sexualities

Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 Hours
Attribute: 4 SS, CD
This historiographical colloquium examines the social, political, and cultural histories of human sexuality within a European context from the Victorian era to the present. We will investigate sexuality as both a discursive category and a lived reality. We will examine both how official institutions (lawmakers, medical professionals, and the religious establishment) regulated human sexuality and consider how different nationalities, races, religions, and classes lived their sexual identities.
