RELGST 1405 - RELIGION AND SEXUALITY RELIGION AND SEXUALITY RELIGION AND SEXUALITY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
From Puritan attempts to control women's sexuality to contemporary debates over reproductive rights and gay marriage, religion and sexuality have played a formative role in the political and social history of the United States. 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. We take a chronological approach to our subjects, locating the intersections between religion and sexuality throughout the course of American history. In the process, we'll discover how competing ideas regarding religion and sexuality have transformed, and continue to transform, American politics, culture, and society.
