Summary	The course aims to provide students with a firm understanding of the forces - social, medical and political - that have shaped British attitudes and responses towards sexuality during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It will be considered how certain social groups have attracted labels such as 'normal', 'diseased' and 'deviant'. Students will be encouraged to evaluate these concepts critically, to examine the dynamics at work behind their construction, and to relate them to broader processes of social change.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students should be able to: - engage critically with the key historical debates, theories, methodologies and concepts encountered in the history of sexuality, and how they relate to broader processes of social change - show, through essays and examinations, the ability to collect, analyse and compare primary and secondary evidence in order to assemble a structured, coherent and supported argument. - demonstrate, through participation in seminars, the ability to produce sound, structured and supported arguments, and to process and respond to the arguments of others - display good time management and the ability to organise the workload effectively in order to meet the established deadlines - employ sensitivity and nuance in dealing with the potentially difficult and emotive issues of sexuality - the introduction of assessment for oral presentations is consistent with the course's Intended Learning Outcomes that students 'engage critically with key historical debates, theories and methodologies'; and that they 'demonstrate the ability to produce sound, structured and supported arguments'.
