Mormon Women: Navigating Sexuality, Politics, and Gender

This interdisciplinary course explores the intricate intersections of sexuality, politics, and gender within the context of Mormon (LDS) women's experiences and histories. Through a combination of discussions, readings, and multimedia resources, including popular media representations, students will examine how cultural, religious, and social constructions of gender identity and sexuality have evolved in the Mormon tradition and how these factors influence contemporary issues faced by women in the Church and in broader society. The goal is for students to learn how to participate in academic conversations about religion and gender through primary and secondary sources, and contribute to the academic conversations through their own writing and research.
