Disciplinary Strand – Social, Political and Historical Studies – 300 level

Students undertake a rigorous and detailed analysis of the notions of sex, gender and sexuality in a wide variety of cultural and political contexts, including in cultures other than 'First World', 'White' and 'Western' ones. Students examine in-depth how social and political institutions function to regulate sex, gender and sexuality in a broad range of cultures. In its approach to the comparative study of social and personal regulatory processes in these areas, this subject uses a range of theoretical frameworks, which may include social constructivism and performativity approaches.
