People in different societies around the world grow up on very diverse diets, live very different lifestyles, face vastly different prospects of health, disease and biological functioning through their lives, and reach quite contrasting states of adaptation to their surroundings. Why? What are the consequences? And what are the future implications? Although populations do differ genetically, that is not the whole story, nor even the main story. What part is played by the environment – physical, biotic and social? And what part is played by the capacity of human biology and behaviour to respond flexibly and adaptively to ecological variety and change? This capacity is, along with fixed genetic traits, a heritage from our evolutionary past – but one that is very important to the here and now, and to whatever future our species may face.

Welcome! In this course you will develop an understanding the dual academic and activist histories of sexuality studies and queer theory. Specifically, we will interrogate how feminist, trans, and critical race methodologies inform and intersect with queer theory. You will encounter diverse mediums of fiction, non-fiction, history, theory, and popular culture and become active, critical scholars of representations of sexuality. This course will develop your ability to read a variety of cultural texts, both written and visual, closely and critically. You will analyze these texts in ways that will engage and challenge your personal experience, the perspectives of experts, and different ways of thinking about the world around you. The work we do in this course will build on your reading and writing skills, providing tools employed in college reading and writing across multiple disciplines.
