Human Sexuality from a Cross-Cultural Perspective
Taught by Adam Wetsman
This course is designed to provide the student who has an interest in human sexuality with an introduction to this subject as a form of culturally- influenced social interaction. Topics addressed include historical views of sexuality, gender identity, and the impact of cultural change on sexual interest and activity. A social scientific analysis of various aspects of human sexual behavior will be used to examine sexuality as a form of social interaction in a cultural context. Various social theories and relevant empirical research are critically analyzed from both a Western and non-Western perspective.
