PSYCH-787 Human Sexuality and Gender Development
Human sexuality and gender operate at multiple layers of the developmental system: from historical political systems down to the most intimate aspects of biology and behavior. In this seminar, students will examine how applied developmental psychology has been used to frame questions and create knowledge about sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexuality, and romantic relationships. The course will take a trans-affirming queer feminist approach rooted in the inherent dignity of all people, as we grapple with how the process of scientific knowledge production can help and/or harm the struggle for human rights and freedom from oppression.
