Course Information
This course is an introduction and overview of the study of sexuality. The course begins by reviewing various approaches to researching and theorizing sexuality, ultimately focusing on a critical framework of “intersectionality.” Recognizing the complicated way sexuality has been addressed (or not) in intersectional scholarship, the course framework purposely draws on work by Black feminist, lesbian, queer theorists and queer of color critique. The course then uses this framework to examine topics related to sexuality today– for example, various categories, identities, and experiences of sexuality (queer, trans, enby, ace, intersex, pan, poly, LGB, “straight” and more) and various sexual cultures (e.g., hook up culture, bud sex/dude sex cultures, and more). The course also reviews (mostly social science) research addressing sexuality in relation to issues of social control, violence, representation, commercialization, bodies, and health – again taking these up and considering them from a critical sexuality framework of intersectionality. The course is structured to provide students the opportunity to think in terms of an intersectionality framework while reflecting on patterns of marginalization and valorization of different expressions of pleasure, desire, and intimacy. The course concludes with examination of cutting-edge research that takes up, reflects on, and extends the class framework of intersectionality. (WST: SS; TPS: Core; HDS Minor: Tier 2)
NOTE: Though I will try to remain as faithful as possible to this syllabus, I reserve the right to make changes, as long as they are announced in advance in class or via the class email list. This is especially significant given the ever-changing structure of teaching/learning due to COVID-19
Course Objectives

HYFLEX INFORMATION
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UF is adopting a HyFlex model, short for Hybrid-Flexible, which combines online and classroom-based instructional components. Classrooms equipped with HyFlex technology provide instructors the ability to teach in-person and remote learners simultaneously and to record their lectures for their online sections while teaching face-to-face. In a HyFlex course, all learning content and materials are designed for both classroom and online learning environments and address all learning outcomes, regardless of the delivery medium. This way, whether a student attends class in a face-to-face environment, remotely through their computer, or by watching a recording if a recording is available, the learning objectives and outcomes will remain equivalent. (Source: Teaching in a Classroom with HyFlex - Center for Instructional Technology and Training - University of Florida). For more information on learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to the UF Keep Learning website: Keep Learning - eLearning - University of Florida
What to expect during the class session?
You have registered to attend the class sessions in person or remotely. If you are joining a class session remotely, practice using Zoom ahead of time. Plan to have access to a microphone, speakers or headphones, and a webcam. Most laptops should have all these components. In cases of slow Internet connectivity, you can participate through your phone (audio only) by joining the Zoom meeting via a telephone number. (Keep Learning - eLearning - University of Florida). The URL to the live class sessions will be shared with students via email and also in the weekly modules. . Zoom sessions will be recorded and the link posted in the module.
MINIMUM TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS
The University of Florida expects students entering an online program to acquire computer hardware and software appropriate to his or her degree program. Most computers are capable of meeting the following general requirements. A student’s computer configuration should include:
- Webcam

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Taking a HyFlex can be a lot of fun! Here are some tips that will help you get the most of this course while taking full advantage of this format:
- Schedule "class times" for yourself. It is important to do the coursework on time each week. You will receive a reduction in points for work that is turned in late!
- Read ALL of the material contained on this site. There is a lot of helpful information that can save you time and help you meet the objectives of the course.
- Print out the Course Schedule located in the Course Syllabus and check things off as you go.
- Ask for help or clarification of the material if you need it.
- Do not wait to ask questions! Waiting to ask a question might cause you to miss a due date.
- Do your work well before the due dates. Sometimes things happen. If your computer goes down when you are trying to submit an assignment, you'll need time to troubleshoot the problem.
- To be extra safe, back up your work to an external hard drive, thumb drive, or through a cloud service.
NETIQUETTE AND COMMUNICATION COURTESY
All members of the class are expected to follow rules of common courtesy during, before, and after class, in all email messages, threaded discussions, and chats. Be on time. If you join the class session remotely, try and join the session at least 5 minutes before the class starts. Before your very first class session, try joining about 10-15 minutes to make sure that everything works.
ACADEMIC ETIQUETTE
Regular attendance is expected. [No attendance will be taken, but weekly assignments will depend on knowledge from regular attendance]. Please remember that for onsite students arriving late or leaving early is disruptive to the class, especially so with COVID safety rules. For offsite/online students, please follow online learning etiquette (e.g., microphone off unless speaking). Respect for opinions voiced in class is essential and I expect everyone to treat each other professionally. In order for us to learn from each other, we have to allow each other to make mistakes, and to offer unpopular positions for debate. However, name-calling, other forms of verbal harassment, sexual harassment and microaggressions will not be tolerated and will result in being asked to leave the class. Please also see description of assignments for further discussion of expectations about course participation.
UF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
This course will subscribe to the University of Florida Student Honor Code. A central part of the UF Honor Code is the Honor Pledge: “The Honor Pledge: We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to hold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and integrity by abiding by the Student Honor Code. On all work submitted for credit by Students at the University of Florida, the following pledge is either required or implied: “On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment.” Further information about the UF Honor Code and guidelines for Academic Honesty are here. In this course, plagiarism or cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and will result in failing the course and other disciplinary action. In all instances, you must do your own work. There is no excuse for plagiarism, or for submitting another's work, ideas, or wording as your own. This includes using direct quotes from online sources without citation or submitting a paper you bought but did not write. Ignorance is not an excuse. Please be aware that there are various anti-plagiarism techniques available for use by University of Florida faculty that enables faculty members to determine if research papers have been plagiarized. There is a difference between plagiarism and collaboration. Collaboration, for purposes of this class, is the act of discussing ideas with classmates, debating issues, and examining readings from the class together so that each of you arrives at your own independent thought. Collaboration in this class is encouraged.
STUDENT CONDUCT CODE AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT
This course also operates under UF’s Student Conduct Code. The Student Conduct Code is a set of standards and regulations which describe the rights, privileges, and responsibilities for all currently enrolled students at the University of Florida. For more information, click here. UF provides an educational and working environment for its students, faculty, and staff that is free from sex discrimination and sexual harassment. For more information, see UF policies regarding harassment. Furthermore, in order to make this an effective course for everyone, all participants will be expected to meet the professional standards of integrity expected for members of the Center for Gender, Sexualities, and Women’s Studies Research. This means I expect all participants to interact with peers “professionally,” meaning with honesty, ethical behavior, cultural sensitivity, teamwork, and effective communication. Additionally, I expect all course participants will fulfill work obligations in a thoughtful and timely way, and display collegiality and sensitivity to faculty and other students.
UF GENDER EQUITY:
The Office for Accessibility and Gender Equity provides support to anyone affected by sexual or gender-based misconduct, harassment, or discrimination. Please know that both your instructor and TA in this course are considered Officials with Authority who are required to report violations of the gender equity policy. “Title IX is a federal law that requires officials with the authority to take action, to report violations of the gender equity policy. Officials with authority must report these violations to the Title IX Coordinator or their deputies. The obligation to report applies whenever an Official with Authority receives, in the course and scope of employment, information about the alleged misconduct and policy violation. The report must include all information known to the employee which would be relevant to an investigation or redress of the incident, including whether the alleged victim has expressed a desire for confidentiality.” For further information, including how to make a report, click here. Below are some specialist support services. You might not need them, but you might know someone who does. For specialist support in the aftermath of sexual assault, the Office of Victim Services on campus offer confidential, free support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

CONSIDER (DOUBLE) MAJORING IN WOMEN'S STUDIES!
Do you want to learn about issues of diversity, power, equity, and justice and gain the scholarly knowledge and skills to change the world? Adding the Women’s Studies major can deepen your critical thinking, analysis, and skills in intersectional feminist approaches to studying and transforming gender, race, class, sexualities and other systems of power. The Women’s Studies major shows graduate schools and employers that you bring advanced knowledge and skills about diversity and equity issues. The 30-credit Women’s Studies major consists of four core courses and six electives. It’s simple to combine with another major, and up to 15 credits can double count with another degree (English, Psychology, and Sociology in particular have many courses that can double count). It’s also the perfect complement to pre-health studies. Contact undergraduate coordinator Dr. Alyssa Zucker (azucker@ufl.edu) to make an appointment to discuss adding the major.
EVALUATIONS
Students are expected to provide professional and respectful feedback on the quality of instruction in this course by completing course evaluations online via GatorEvals. Guidance on how to give feedback in a professional and respectful manner is available at https://gatorevals.aa.ufl.edu/students/ Students will be notified when the evaluation period opens, and can complete evaluations through the email they receive from GatorEvals, in their Elearning/Canvas course menu under GatorEvals, or via https://ufl.bluera.com/ufl/. Summaries of course evaluation results are available to students at https://gatorevals.aa.ufl.edu/public-results/
COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS
ONSITE & ONLINE SIMULTANEOUS (OOS) LEARNING PLAN:
Class will begin as promptly as possible each day, taking into consideration our extra COVID safety and technology challenges of an OOS teaching and learning environment. In general, this course will be structured to follow regular weekly pattern (reflected in the Canvas modules): Tuesdays = synchronous simultaneous lecture, Thursdays = video lecture and assignment. Please review the Hyflex information. If you are attending class as an onsite student, please also review the COVID-19 safety protocols before attending class. If you are an online student, please also review the Technology and Zoom information.
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION
This class depends on everyone’s active participation and thoughtful discussion. Because we are operating with a unique onsite & online simultaneous (OOS) teaching/learning structure due to COVID-19, participation and discussion will be differently defined (further details provided in class). If you are an onsite student you may choose, at any time, to attend class online. Online students may not choose to attend onsite. (If these expectations change, you will be notified). Regardless of whether you are an onsite or online student, attendance is not required, but it is very strongly recommended. In addition to attending class, please come prepared to engage with the material and to participate in the class discussion. This means you should do the readings assigned for that day before you attend class. The participation portion of your grade for this class will be calculated on the basis of weekly assignments. You are responsible for observing all posted due dates and are encouraged to be self-directed and take responsibility for your learning.
READING AND STUDY TIME
Each week the class meetings will include discussion-based lectures, structured discussion, and weekly assignments. The assigned readings for each week include 2-4 readings/day, either as separate readings or from the core textbook. This balance should provide core concepts with interesting examples. Before class you should complete the readings and think critically about their application to topic of the day. Course lecture each week will also include overviews of readings to help students with material. Weekly assignments each week will expect completion of the readings. Please note, university courses, in general, are designed such that every hour in class is expected to be accompanied by at least 3 hours of study outside of class.
WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS
(10 points possible/assignment, total = 100 points, 33% of the final grade)
Starting on January 28th you will have an assignment each week (usually Thursdays). The purpose of these assignments is to help you engage and master the material of that week. These assignments will build on concepts from the Tuesday lecture and readings as well as the Thursday readings and overview. The assignments will vary and may include podcast or video worksheets, short response paragraphs, and later in the semester possibly Flipgrid and Perusall activities. Please note – there are 11 Assignments structured in the syllabus. You are required to complete 10. This means you may opt out 1 week. No need to notify Dr. Broad or Bailey – just do the make-up assignment #11.
FINAL PROJECT & PRESENTATION
(100 points possible, 33% of the final grade)
At the end of the semester, you will be expected to do a group presentation and write an individual paper about intersectional sexuality research. The presentation and paper will center on one in-depth example of recent intersectional sexuality research (research articles will be provided by Dr. Broad). Further information will be provided in class.
TAKE HOME EXAM
(100 points possible, 33% of the final grade)
There will be a take-home exam, involving 3 essays, one required essay and the remaining two chosen from a selection of questions. The exam will require you to use the material of class in your answers. Hint: Those who keep up in the readings, regularly attend class, and take notes will do better on the exam.
ANSWERS TO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
May I take my exam late? May I turn in my Assignment/Paper late?
Late assignments, papers, and exams will only be accepted/arranged when students face documented circumstances beyond her, his, or their control.
May I take an incomplete in the course?
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences states that an incomplete can "only be given when a student has completed a major portion of the course with a passing grade and has been unable to complete the course requirements because of documented circumstances beyond his or her control" (see also Ungraduate Catalog under "Grades/Grading Policy"). An "Incomplete" (or "I" gad) can only be assigned before the final exam/final paper of the course.

KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR GRADE
The following chart should be used to keep track of your grade in the class. Please be aware that the level of effort you put into the class, may not correspond to the quality of your work (which is the basis of your grades for assignments). To earn a good grade, you will be expected to do the work and meet the expectations for good quality work outlined in course assignment guidelines and discussed in class. There are 300 points possible in the class. For further information on UF grading policies see Grades and Grading Policies in the Undergraduate Catalog. Please note: UF Policy states: a minimum grade of C is required for general education credit.
