LGBT 150 - (IS) LGBTQ+ RelationshipsSemester Hours: 3
LGBTQ+ identity is, like any other socially constructed identity, inherently understood via relationships. Without our relationships with others in society, the concepts of sexual orientation and gender identity would be largely unimportant to survival; and without our close interpersonal relationships, our experience of ourselves and/or others as LGBTQ+ would be fundamentally different. In this course, we will explore these topics in a person-centered, humanistic manner and apply them to students’ interests and future careers.
This course is intended for students across disciplines who are interested in couple, family, and other close personal relationships for LGBTQ+-identified people. Relationships considered will include both intrapersonal (a person’s relationship with themselves) and interpersonal (relationships between two or more people) dynamics, as well as the couple, family, friend, and societal systems of relationships relevant for LGBTQ+ individuals. This course will provide a primarily psychological, sociological, and developmental view of LGBTQ+ relationships; however, coursework will provide ample opportunities for students to consider the applications of the topic to their major field of study and prospective careers.
