Sexuality studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines sexed, gendered, and sexualized bodies, desires, pleasures, acts, behaviours, identities, subjectivities, communities, cultures, movements, and organizing. The field explores artistic, cultural, economic, geographic, historical, legal, literary, political, psychological, scientific, and social aspects of sexuality, while also investigating the sexual aspects of arts, cultures, economies, geographies, histories, laws, literatures, politics, psychologies, sciences, and societies. York’s Sexuality Studies Program has three primary intellectual and political commitments. First, the program is committed to interdisciplinarity, encouraging its students and faculty to work within and across disciplinary boundaries and to work within and across the boundaries that structure the humanities, the social sciences, the fine arts, and various professional fields. Second, the program is committed to transnational methods and approaches. In this respect the program is concerned with sexualities in diverse Canadian contexts; it explores sexualities in African, Asian and Pacific, Caribbean, North and South American, European, and Oceanic contexts; and it examines sexual migrations, movements, and diasporas in transnational and transcontinental contexts. Third, the program is committed to intersectional teaching, learning, and research, which we understand to mean that sexualities are productively studied in relation to other categories of difference and power, including (dis)ability, age, class, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, health, nationality, race, and religion. Sexualities are also productively studied in relation to diverse bodies and ever-changing embodiments. Committed to examining lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, intersexed, heterosexual, and heteronormative people and phenomena, the program also studies alternative ways of organizing and conceptualizing sexualities and, indeed, alternatives to sexuality. Note: for purposes of meeting program requirements, foundations courses will count as six credits towards the major or minor. Note: normally students will not enrol in AP/GL/SXST 2600 6.00 and AP/GL/SXST 4600 6.00 in the same academic session.
