This course will introduce students to how lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, trans people, queers, and other sexual and gender minorities are understood and have been understood historically in various times and places across the globe. The class will consider the changing nature of same-sex desires, sexual acts, and relationships; societal definitions of and responses to same-sex love and sexuality; the societal conditions that facilitated the emergence of subcultures, identities, and movements based on same-sex sexuality; and gender differences in the history of same-sex love and sexuality in different parts of the world. Students will engage in historical practices such as interpreting primary sources from ancient times to the present and analyzing secondary sources.
