HIST255: Sex and Gender in Europe and Empire |
This unit will focus on gender and sexuality in European history since the Enlightenment until the end of the First World War. This period saw conceptions of masculinity and femininity radically redefined and gender relations reconceived. European culture also became increasingly 'sexualised' during this time, with the emergence of discourse of psychiatry and sexology.
The unit will examine the ways in which concepts of gender were effected by issues of class and ethnicity both in relation to Europe and in various discourses around imperialism. The emergence of feminism will also be explored. Students will gain an understanding of the ways in which gender is relevant to the consideration of major intellectual, political and social developments in European history.
