SOC 4900 - Social Context of Sexual Behavior

This course focuses on a systematic analysis of contemporary sexual codes and behavior in American society. Present-day beliefs and practices are viewed in historical context (especially from 1900 to the present) to gain insight into what is today, with the purpose of projecting what may be in the future. This sociological, historical, social psychological analysis examines current patterns of beliefs and behavior in terms of their immediate and potential effects and consequences both for individuals and couples, and also for society.
