Course Introduction
Sexual Diversity Studies explores the complex spectrum of human sexuality, gender identities, and expressions across different cultures, historical periods, and social contexts. This interdisciplinary course examines theoretical frameworks, key concepts, and lived experiences relating to LGBTQIA+ communities, while considering intersections with race, class, religion, ability, and other social factors.
