This course is an interdisciplinary approach to studying sexuality, reproduction, politics, and social inequality that draws on literatures in gender and sexuality studies, public health, sociology, and public policy. The key objective of this course is to identify how racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of social oppression shape sexual and reproductive health. We will also explore the relationship between social movements, law, and public policy with regards to sexual and reproductive freedom. The course will be organized around basic concepts with added content tailored to students' learning needs.
