SOC 305 Sexuality: A Data-Driven Perspective

This class uses a statistical, data-driven perspective to investigate human sexuality on the individual and societal level, covering a wide array of subjects. Students will examine what the social and natural sciences have to say about sexual assault, pedophilia, sexual health, pornography, marital sexuality, sexuality across the lifecourse, homosexuality, asexuality, and sexual minority identification and communities. Theoretical perspectives used to frame these discussions and provide testable hypotheses will be discussed. Basic hands-on statistical analysis and interpretation will be taught and used.
