Course Synopsis
The purpose of the course is to search faith traditions, in spite of the normative accusations of being patriarchal, to find faith-based guidelines for developing an ethical sexual lifestyle that is aware of how racism, classism, and specifically sexism influences the current conversation on sexual ethics. The course’s focus will be on developing healthy models that foster intimacy and vulnerability for a disjointed and at times oppressive community.
