Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In contemporary life, sex and sexuality have become central to personal identity, community membership, production and consumption, for example, film, magazines, online dating, fashion and sex performance pharmaceuticals. From a narrow focus on human reproduction, there has been an explosion of inquiry into sexuality. This subject will introduce students to contemporary debates in the emerging field known as Critical Sexuality Studies, which is informed by philosophical, scientific and theoretical approaches to issues of pleasure, personhood, relationships, family, community and citizenship.
