Gender Fluidity: Terms and Historical Perspective in a Changing Sexual Landscape

Instructor: Toby Simon

Time: Thursdays from 2-4 p.m.

Location: Wellfleet Library

Dates: October 19, 26, November 2, 9, 16.

This course will examine the changing sexuality landscape and the frequency with which we are often involved in discussions with our peers and families about gender fluidity. The course will include the history of the human sexuality movement beginning in the early 1900s as well as key elements of that history that are currently under scrutiny, criticism and attack in numerous places.

Beginning with the history and continuing with an examination of the various terms as we try to stay current can be challenging, confusing and rewarding. It often results in more questions and valuable conversations.  This course will attempt to address this landscape by looking at historical trends, current data and some personal stories.
