REL3041 ST: Religion & Sexuality

This course explores some of the complex points of intersection between religion, sexuality, and gender. The course will focus on some of the ways in which religion authorizes particular expressions of sexuality and gender, as well as the ways in which non-normative gender identities and expressions of sexuality challenge authoritative religious teachings, institutions, and practices. In exploring these issues, we will consider: contemporary theories of gender, sexuality, and embodiment; traditional and revisionist religious teachings related to gender and sexuality; contemporary and current events that inform an understanding of the relation of religious authority to gender, and sexuality; and explorations of the intersection of religion, gender, and sexuality within popular culture.
