LAW520: Law and Sexuality
How and why does the law regulate sexual desires, acts, expressions and orientations? How does it contribute to constructing sexual identities? How useful is it as an emancipatory tool for sex and gender outsiders? In engaging with these questions, this unit will explore topics ranging from pornography to gay marriage and parenting, and draw on historical and theoretical sources, including liberal jurisprudence and queer theory.
