HIST 3380 - History of Sexuality in Europe

4 Semester Hours
HIST-3380 examines the history of sexuality in Europe, with comparisons to ancient and medieval periods. In the course, students explore sexual practices among Victorians, the influence of non-western cultures on Europeans’ understanding of sex, regulation of prostitution as protection and punishment, and development of sexology as an area of study. Students analyze the work of feminists aspro-/anti-sex and study homosexuality among all populations, but especially in urban areas during the twentieth century.
