LAWU-310 Gender, Sexuality, and the Law
This course will provide undergraduate students with an introduction to the many ways that gender and sexuality are affected by, and affect, the law in the United States. Subjects explored will include the history and context of sex-based and orientation-based discrimination in American law, the primacy of gender as it affects and is affected by law, and special cases of transgender and intersex ideation within American legal constructs. Particular emphasis will be placed on the law of sexuality and gender in the workplace, in education, in criminal law, and within social relationships such as families. This course is not a legal specialty course.
