| HSTY 169 - Sex and the Sixties |
|
An introduction to what is sometimes called the "Sexual Revolution" in the 1960s-70s in Western Culture. The central question for exploration in the course is: Whose sexual revolution was it? That is, who benefited from this revolution in sexual attitudes and mores? This course examines young adults’ involvement in new grassroots social movements, including the Civil Rights/Black Power, Free Speech, Counterculture, and the Antiwar movements. While students read and analyze historians' interpretations of this tumultuous period, the bulk of the course focuses on analysis of sources produced at the time, including medical documents, visual media, magazines, journals, political pamphlets, clothing, and music. Students explore popular culture as well as the two important political movements that were at the center of the discussions on sex: the Gay Liberation Movement and the Women's Movement.
