Seminar 5 – Gender in the 21st Century

This month we will be looking at gender and sexuality, and if the norms of the 20^th century still hold weight today. Are traditional ideals about gender and sexuality still necessary important or recognisable? Or are they restrictive? And how is sexuality and gender constructed in contemporary society, culture and thought?

To inform our discussion we will examine the introduction to Judith Butler's text Undoing Gender available here:
