Study of Sexualities (SXL)
Associate Professor Wilson (Women’s Studies), Director
A certificate, but not a major, is available in this program.
The Program in the Study of Sexualities offers an interdisciplinary course of study that introduces students to
critical analyses of the various expressions of sexuality in societies around the world, both past and present. Such
expressions encompass a wide range from heterosexuality to homosexuality and include other erotic desires, sexual
relationships, and gender roles. Critical analyses concern how sexuality is formed, defined, and regulated by
biological and social forces.
Students must take as an introductory course Study of Sexualities 199S, and five additional courses, one of
which must be the senior capstone course Queer Theory SXL 470S, designed mainly for program participants. Of
the total six courses, no more than three can originate in a single department, and four must be at or above the 200
level. Appropriate courses may come from the list given below and may include other courses (new courses, special
topics courses, and independent study) as approved by the director. Regular courses are described under the listings
of the various departments. Students may also wish to take advantage of house courses offered on topics in this area
although house courses cannot satisfy the requirements of the program.
