CHID 496 D: Focus Groups

In this course, we briefly dive into the ways that gender and sexuality have been constructed socially, historically, and culturally. A large component of this course will be focusing on the ways pop-culture influences our gender & sexuality journey. We will be analyzing mainstream Rap musicians and other artists to better understand the implications of living in a heteronormative society that is vastly influenced by entertainment media. Students will be asked to critically analyze and interpret their personal experiences with gender roles by engaging in interactive discussions and creative reflections.
