Humanities and Fine Arts 191HFA30 - FYS- Sexual Ethics

We just met last night, but we already had sex. Did I do something wrong?? ?I found out that my partner has been viewing pornography. Does that mean they have been cheating on me?? ?I?m interested in inviting this person home with me, but they are clearly intoxicated. Is it possible for them to consent?? These are some of the many questions relating to sexual ethics that are especially important for college-aged adults to wrestle with. In this course, students will have the opportunity to approach questions like these from the perspective of a philosopher, an historian, an artist, and a law maker in order to consider tough issues from a number of angles. We will use the arts and humanities to guide us through some of the most difficult struggles we face as we try to define and understand ourselves and our place in the world.

Open to first-year Humanities and Fine Arts Exploratory Track students and first-year HFA Majors.
