Male and female, masculine and feminine, and straight and gay. Where do these consequential categories come from? How do they generate inequalities? Why are they so easily reproduced? Why are they so frequently politicized? And what, if anything, should we do about it? Combining real-world applications with academic analyses, this course encourages students to think about how sexuality and gender shape the social world, as well as their place within it.
