Fall 2019 Courses GSWS 100-3 Sex Talk (Breadth-Humanities) Lecture Thursdays: 10:30 – 12:20
Helen Leung
Students are introduced to major contemporary issues in sexuality studies through an exploration of how sex is portrayed in different media contexts. We will also examine the underlying political, social, and philosophical contexts of these sexual representations.

GSWS 101-3: Gender Talk (Breadth-Social Sciences) Lecture Tuesdays: 10:30 – 12:20
Lara Campbell
Should sex work be legalized? Is pornography sexist? How is gender and sexuality portrayed in popular culture? If you are interested in the ways we live as gendered beings in Canadian society, then GSWS 101 will be of interest to you. This introductory survey course examines the historical and cultural meanings of gender and sexuality, examines how ideas about femininity and masculinity shape our institutions, popular culture, and policies, studies the intersections of gender with race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality, and debates the history and future of feminist activism.
GSWS 306-4 Gender, Sexuality and Autobiographical Media Fridays: 9:30 – 13:20
Surrey
Michelle Walks
Through the study of vlogs, radio/streaming audio, film, self-portrait, and various length and style of texts, this course investigates intersectional autobiographical narratives/representations of gender and sexuality. Students will learn about analyzing autobiographical media, how representations are influenced by cultural and historical context (including but not limited to colonialism, imperialism, patriarchy, racism, and ableism), and the purposes/uses of autobiographical representations. Voices of various marginal perspectives are highlighted.
GSWS 320-4 Forty Years of AIDS: Fatigue, Failure, and Fantasies Mondays: 9:30 – 13:20
Vaibhav Saria
It has been almost forty years since the HIV/AIDS pandemic changed the contours of our social world. The pandemic has seen moments of mass panic, fear, and urgency with increasing numbers of infections and deaths in the 80s and 90s and eventually transformed forever the way people negotiated sex, love, life, and death. Though the advent of more and more sophisticated ART medications is making living with HIV possible, are we actually beyond the point of crisis as is now being claimed?
GSWS 322-4: Feminist Approaches to Research Thursdays: 13:30 – 17:20
Coleman Nye
What questions, concerns, and practices guide feminist research and inquiry? This class offers an interdisciplinary overview of feminist approaches to the production of knowledge and difference. We will learn what methods feminist research brings to the study of several major issues including: (1) how knowledge is produced and identities are shaped in everyday life and at the systemic level; (2) the broader dynamics of power that structure what kinds of knowledge gains dominance and visibility, and which perspectives and beliefs are marginalized; (3) the ways that feminist, queer, and decolonial modes of research, theory, and practice expose, disrupt, or revise dominant systems of knowing.
GSWS 333-4 RWW Seminar – Gender and Ethnicity in Modern China Thursdays: 8:30 – 12:20
Guldana Salimjan
This course will guide students to understand the operation and validation of state power through the representational politics of gender, ethnicity, and class categories in the People’s Republic of China. We employ an interdisciplinary perspective that includes historical and anthropological analysis, gender and performance studies, and critical Indigenous studies.
