This course will discover and define those evolving boundaries from the colonial period to the present. Important topics include changing gender roles and their impact on sexual relationships, courtship and marriage, the evolution of birth control and abortion, social communities and subcultures defined by alternative sexual behaviors, and so-called “deviant” forms of sexuality. Satisfies the Individual and Society General Education elective requirement and Writing Designated core requirements.
