In this course, students will draw on various theoretical perspectives to explore the intersectionand interplay of law and sex/gender/sexualities. They will examine the construction of legal personality and sexual identity, reconsider notions of public and private that are enshrined in the Common Law, and explore how the law regulates and legitimizes the experiences of men and, to a lesser extent, women. Students will gain a deeper appreciation of the role that law plays in making and maintaining differences between people due to sex and gender. The structure of the course will allow for an exploration of topics of contemporary concern.
