Section Title:
IAHSS: Sex Ed Panic!
Section Info:
The course introduces the relationships between education, sex, and the culture of panic. Specifically the course addresses sex from legal, cultural, and ethical dimensions. One of the goals of the course is to give students social-scientific tools to analyze and challenge the ways in which public discussions about sexuality elicit emotions such as fear and panic resulting in an array of public and political responses. Working with case studies, students will learn to engage and evaluate the information that circulates about sexuality and its impact on educating informed citizens. Their class materials and activities will enable them to analyze a range of contemporary debates: gender identification, media censorship, sex education and abstinence policies, and college campaigns on sexual assaults such as “It’s on Us”.
