INT 325 - Romance, Sex, Love, and Marriage (3 cr.)

This course will enable students to examine various perspectives on romance, sex, love, and marriage. Through discussion developed through the use of scholarship and pertinent supplementary resources (film, music) an understanding of intimate relationships will develop. Attention will also be given to the impact of consumer culture, stress, sexual violence, and paranoia on relationships. The course will examine the social and cultural contexts of romance, sex, love, and marriage, while promoting critical thinking concerning gender, socio-economic class, race, heterosexism, privilege, and the dynamics of emotion and socialization.
