In this advanced psychology course, we will examine seminal as well as cutting-edge theory, research and controversies related to the psychology of gender, sexuality and intimate relationships. We draw on a range of approaches to understand the intersecting categories of sex, gender, identity, sexuality and individual/collective psychologies. Using popular culture, empirical and clinical examples, we also take into consideration intersectionality of race/ethnicity, class, disability, geographic location and immigration status. As we explore key themes and topics within critical and feminist psychological research in this field, we also focus on how this knowledge has, and continues to, encompass an ‘applied psychology’, one with a social change orientation focused on social justice within and outside the discipline. Topics include theories of gender and sexuality, asexuality, bisexuality, BDSM, gay men, lesbian psychology, heterosexuality, intersex, gender diversity, mobile dating, casual sex, sexual violence, the sex industry, monogamy, open-relationships, relationship anarchy. Applications of this knowledge to clinical practice is also addressed throughout the course.
