In this advanced psychology course, we will examine seminal as well as cutting-edge theories, research, and controversies related to the psychology of sexuality and intimate relationships. We draw on a range of approaches (e.g., feminist biology, psychology of epigenetics, queer theory, sexology, transnational feminist research) to understand the intersecting categories of sex, gender, identity, sexuality, intimate relationships and individual/collective psychologies. Using historical, popular culture, empirical and clinical examples, we also take into consideration the intersectionality of race/ethnicity, class, disability, geographic location and immigration status. Topics include theories of gender and sexuality, LGBTQIA+ sexualities, "fringe" intimacies (e.g., BDSM, sex work, polyamory/ethical non-monogamy), the institution of heterosexuality, sexual fluidity, technology and sex/dating, sexual violence, and relationship anarchy. Applications of this knowledge to everyday life, interdisciplinary and psychological research, and clinical practice are also addressed throughout the course. This course is open to all graduate students across the university, and can be taken as part of the Graduate Certificate in Gender and Sexuality Studies. Advanced undergraduate gender studies minors can seek permission to register, as can other advanced undergraduate students who have a core passion/interest in sexuality studies.
