Sex - the act as well as its symbolic, practical, and pleasurable associations  – became an object of scientific investigation and control in the Western world in the 19th century. Sex, however, was neither an exclusively Western activity nor a specific 19th-century scientific invention. This course examines the idea of sex and its manifestations globally, focusing on the ways in which communities and experts engaged in debates and discussions about sexual practices from Asia, Latin America, Africa, as well as Europe and North America. Philosophy and Critical Theory (PHCRT) courses focus on developing critical reading and thinking skills, with an emphasis on learning to frame and explore meaningful questions. Students consider multiple perspectives and claims in the process of formulating independent, well-founded opinions.
