Department of History

History of Sexuality. Instructor: Alissa Klots

This course is intended as a general introduction to the historiography on the history of sexuality. Students will familiarize themselves with the most influential works from the previous decades as well as recent significant publications in the field so that students get a sense of the evolution of history of sexuality as a field. The readings are organized thematically. There will be no particular geographical focus so students will have the opportunity to read about history of sexuality in different contexts. Students will also propose themes/readings for the last two sessions so that the course also reflects their own research interests.
