Gender and Sexuality

   Why ‘Gender and Sexuality’?

   Masculinity, femininity, gender, equality, discrimination, love and
   sex. Explore all of this and more in this sub-theme.

   Are genders inherent or performed, binary or multiple, affirming or
   constraining? How do ideas of gender and sexuality impact on families
   and society, and do all cultures think the same? What about gender and
   violence, sex and deviance, or love and ecstasy? How are these issues
   dealt with in law, by the arts, and by religion?

Make the most of your discovery modules

   Remember, you should be aiming to to put together a good, coherent set
   of discovery modules, based on what you're most interested in. Here is
   a reminder of our two suggested approaches:
    1. Choose a range of modules that build up your knowledge around a
       particular theme. These might be all from one academic discipline,
       or they might offer different disciplinary perspectives on the same
       topics.
    2. Choose an academic discipline (eg law, ethics, sociology, theology,
       history) and choose a set of modules which will enable you
       progressively to deepen your skills in that discipline.

   Once you have identified some possible modules to take, look at which
   school or subject-area is providing them. This will help you understand
   what perspective on the subject they will take, and what methods they
   will be using. This is important in helping you to understand what you
   should (and should not) expect from particular modules. For example:
     * If you want the tools and skills to answer more theoretical
       questions about gender and sexuality, the disciplines most likely
       to provide this are ethics, philosophy, sociology, theology and
       cultural studies.
     * Different perspectives are provided on issues of sex and gender in
       law and regulation (law), in the workplace (business), in education
       (education).
     * If what you are interested in is how these questions have in fact
       been approached in the past (history), in literature (English,
       various modern languages, classics), in art (fine art), or if you
       are interested in how different attitudes to issues of sexuality
       and gender shape people’s interactions and behaviour (sociology,
       psychology, criminology), there are different disciplines devoted
       to each of these approaches.
     * The first 4 characters of the module code tell you which subject
       area provides the module.

   If you’re attracted to this sub-theme, you might also like to explore
   the discovery modules in ‘Mind and Body'.
