This course examines the social construction of gender and sexuality throughout history and across cultures as a part of the urban experience. From the historical shifts in the organization of marriage and reproduction, social mores about heteronormativity, and cross-cultural narratives of sex taboos and allowances, we will examine theories and examples to understand gender and sexuality as central aspects of city life. Our coursework will blend historical analysis, the study of current events, and discussions on topics such as non-normative sexual subjectivities, domestic violence, gender roles and parenting, the commodification of sexuality, and body autonomy.

Is marriage a patriarchal institution? Much feminist scholarship has characterized it that way, but now in the context of the recent Massachusetts Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage, the meaning of marriage itself demands serious re-examination. This course will discuss history, literature, film, and legal scholarship, making use of cross-cultural, sociological, anthropological, and many other theoretical approaches to the marriage question from 1630 to the present. As it turns out, sex, marriage, and the family have never been stable institutions; to the contrary, they have continued to function as flash points for the very social and cultural questions that are central to gender studies scholarship.
