Gender, Sexuality and Social Justice

Undergraduate

This course examines the personal and cultural meanings of sexual and gender identities in Canada today. Students consider how sexual and gender identities are created and experienced in conjunction with other identities such as race/ethnicity, social class, and (dis)ability and explore social justice activism that challenges the personal, social, political, and economic inequities based on these identities. Topics may include: transgender, intersex, and non-binary perspectives, Indigenous and queer people of colour activism, 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, feminist online resistance, disability and desirability, colonialism and the sex/gender binary, and the social construction of sex, gender, and sexuality. (Also offered as ICWG-2300.) (Prerequisites: ICWG-1000.)
