Gender and Sexuality in Historical Perspective
Fall 2021 // Presented by the UT Humanities Center
This research seminar brings together faculty and advanced graduate students working on projects that engage the theme of gender and sexuality in historical perspective. Encouraging academic exchanges across disciplinary boundaries, this seminar will meet regularly for research presentations by affiliated faculty and graduate students, lectures from invited speakers, and discussions of current scholarship. Deliberately broad in scope, this seminar will explore gender in a wide variety of historical periods and geographic contexts. Among the questions we will ask are how a gender analysis can shape studies of sexuality and ideas of the body; the ways in which race, ethnicity, class and gender are relationally constituted and intersect in historically important ways; and finally, the ways in which a gender analysis can help illuminate major political transformations.
