HIST 1672 - RELIGION AND SEXUALITY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Though American political ideologies have often tried to situate both sexuality and religion as private matters that have no bearing on public life, the topics we discuss in this course reveal that quite the opposite is true. This course will trace how religion and sexuality have played an intertwined and formative role in the development of the political and social history of the United States. We will take a chronological approach to our subjects, locating the intersections between religion and sexuality throughout the course of American history, from Puritan attempts to control women's sexuality to contemporary debates over reproductive rights and same-sex intimacy.
