CL: GSWS 2000 (811). Topical Section Description: This course examines the ways men and women develop sexual identities through their membership in society, with a particular focus on East, South-East, and South Asian societies. We will analyze historical, cultural, social, and political constructions of gender, sexual knowledge, and identity, exploring how the construction of gender and sexuality has changed within each society as well as across the region. We will also examine the overwhelming heterosexual imperative in Asian societies, as well as the pervasive media influence on gender and sexual expressions. The course involves an analysis of sexual scripts, the production and reproduction of these scripts, and the impact of such scripts and media messages on individuals and society. The class will be conducted on a seminar basis involving presentation and discussion of assigned readings. All students will be assigned in rotation a reading for presentation. In each class, students will be required to submit summaries and discussion questions for the reading assignment in question.
