The sociological study of sexuality explores these linkages and uses a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to analyze sexual identities, meanings, behaviors, practices, morality, politics, and power. This course will introduce students to these different perspectives and ask the basic question: what does it mean to think of sexuality sociologically? We will explore topics including sexual identity, sexual rights, sex work, sex crime, sexual cultures, and more.
