The
Sexuality, Gender & Rights Institute: Exploring Theory &
Practice
The Sexuality, Gender and Rights Institute is an annual, week-long, residential course that focuses on a conceptual study of sexuality. It examines the links between sexuality, rights, gender, and health and their interface with socio-cultural and legal issues. Participants will critically analyze policy, research and program interventions using a rights-based approach.
Sexuality is a complex field of study that spans
multiple disciplines and areas of work. Accordingly, the course content of the
Sexuality, Gender and Rights Institute will focus on a conceptual and
theoretical study of sexuality drawing from different social science
disciplines and the intersections between them.
Activists and academics will teach the course using classroom
instruction, group work, case studies, simulation exercises, fiction and films.
