Fall 2018 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. Topics covered include: an overview of contemporary theories of sexuality; debates on the sexualization of culture; new media and sexual publicity/privacy; screen culture and the cinematic language of sex; celebrity culture and the narrative of sex scandal; discourses of sexual identity.
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 201-3 Colonizing Women: Canadian Women in Historical Perspective, 1600-1870s Wednesdays: 14:30 – 17:20
Mandy Koolen
This course examines how the lives of women from roughly 1600 to 1870 were shaped by the colonial context of the country we now know as “Canada.” The course will begin with a brief discussion of contemporary Canadian national identity and the experiences of various marginalized and oppressed groups of women in Canadian society today. Students will be encouraged to keep this contemporary context in mind while we explore women’s past experiences.
GSWS 204-3 Sex and the City Mondays: 9:30 – 12:20
Tiffany Muller Myrdahl
This course explores the sexual and gender politics of urban spaces. In so doing, we examine questions such as: What are the explicit and implicit ways that certain forms of sexuality (as well as sex acts and gender expression) are promoted or policed? Whose bodies - and which practices - are managed? How and where do these forms of management take place? Taking an intersectional approach to the relationship between cities and the intimate lives of their residents, the course examines various aspects of the urban form, including but not limited to: the built environment, social relations, laws and policies, oral histories, and memorial landscapes. Please note: this course asks students to consider explicit content - sex acts, not just sexual identities - in order to think through the mutual production of cities and sexualities.
GSWS 317-4 Bread Riots to Riot Grrls: Gender, Resistance and Protest in Historical Perspective Wednesdays: 17:30 – 21:20
Vancouver
Mary Shearman
This course examines women and activism in both the historical and contemporary context. We will look closely at examples of women’s resistance and learn about specific women challenging injustice including nuns who lived in the 12th century and the four founders of the contemporary Indigenous rights movement, Idle No More. We will pay particular attention to the intersections of gender, race, and class while looking at the rise and execution of key social justice movements. We will look at the complicated history of reproductive rights as well as forced sterilization as well as women who have participated in pro-choice and pro-life activism.

GETTING DRUNK FOR GETTING DRUNK FOR GETTING DRUNK FOR THE FIRST TIME THE FIRST TIME THE FIRST TIME You walk excitedly into the basement party, nestled in the suburbs, surrounded by university friends, more like acquaintances? whatevs, WE
FINNA GET
FUCKED UP 2NITE! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! vodka, tequila, and rum and all those fancy liquors you think you know from movies and TV but they burn and taste like nail polish remover so you chug soda pop. Is this what adults like to do? I should know I'm in uni now bitches how much did you pay the boot you're woozy and sloppy, nervous laughter sneaking up from the back of the throat, aftertaste of alcohol sneaking up, alcohol swimming through your blood choked sitting on the basement couch red plastic cup brimming with bad decisions, derision striking the back of the throat oh wait no that's vomit UUUUGHGHHGHGHGH
REGRET REGRET hands and knees towards the toilet the rest of the night is spent staring into that bowl of pristine porcelain so much cleaner than your soul right now. Bile and regret in the toilet bowl, splitting headache nauseous sensitivity to all light and sound you're crying, sobbing, bawling into the toilet bowl as your class valedictorian babysits you from the corner of the washroom making sure you don't try to drown yourself in your own pool of vomit and shame. One of your stronger friends offers to carry you to bed but as an independent woman you refuse inebriated but stubborn stumbling with a plastic Walmart bag held feebly under your chin in case you throw up again and then you throw up again and the Walmart logo is illuminated by vomit and you mentally apologize to your liver I'm so sorry liver,
you've always been so good to me detoxifying my blood and shit that's what the liver does right? You should have called Mom to pick you up hours ago, where is she now? probably asleep, you fall asleep blissful sleep while hugging a trash can as a potential barf bowl what a lovely learning experience
