【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
This course serves as an introduction to the sociology of gender and sexuality. The first half of the course covers the sociology of gender, and the second half of the course covers the sociology of sexuality. While a range of issues relevant to gender and sexuality will be taken up, this course focuses on the perspectives offered by relevant social science theories and concepts to interpret findings from social science research. In this course, students will learn to look at gender and sexuality issues critically and understand the subtle social processes through which taken-for-granted ideas and practices about gender and sexuality are created.

【到達目標 / Goal】
By the end of this course, students will be able to: (1) identify the difference between sex, gender, and sexuality, (2) define the key theories and concepts of gender and sexuality (remembering/understanding), (3) apply those concepts to understand how gender and sexuality affect individuals’ experiences embedded in structures of power (applying), and (4) analyze the ways in which sex, gender, and sexuality are socially constructed (analyzing).

【授業の進め方と方法 / Method(s)】 (学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )
This course is taught primarily through interactive lectures. A variety of active learning techniques, such as in-class writing assignments (one-minute papers), neighbor discussions (think-pair-share), and comment sheets, are used to accommodate the diversity in student learning styles. In-class quizzes are held occasionally so that students understand their own level of understanding of the course materials at the moment. Verbal and written feedback on assignments is given during class discussions and through using other tools as appropriate. Also, feedback for the previous class is given at the beginning of each class. Students are encouraged to visit the instructor during office hours for more personalized feedback.
