  • Parents and Caregivers As Sexuality
    Parents and Caregivers as Sexuality Educators Small Group Ministry Sessions By Robin Slaw Susan Dana Lawrence, Developmental Editor © Unitarian Universalist Association, 2019 Based on a field-tested program written by Karen Rayne and edited by Melanie Davis Introduction Welcome to a program for Unitarian Universalist parents and caregivers who seek support and skills to be effective sexuality educators of their children. This program invites adults to ask themselves: How can I embody my role as my child’s primary sexuality educator in a way that expresses my UU values and faith? Of course, children pick up information and attitudes from sources beyond the home: peers, popular culture, social media, other adults. Many Unitarian Universalist children will participate in Our Whole Lives (OWL), the lifespan, holistic, values-based sexuality education program provided by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ, and they may also receive sexuality education in school. However, OWL encourages, and this program aims to nurture, parents and caregivers in their role as their children’s primary sexuality educators. Trusted adults carry extraordinary power to influence their children’s attitudes and values around sexuality. Many adults struggle to wield that power with intentionality, grace, and confidence. These sessions invite parents and caregivers to find support, insight, and courage with one another. While the small group ministry format provides a spiritually grounded space, the program’s approach to sexuality is secular and grounded in science, in tune with the OWL lifespan sexuality education programs on which it is based. A facilitator can bring this program to a secular setting by omitting references to Unitarian Universalist Principles and values.

Please allow 24 hours for email response, 48 hours on weekends. “Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?” - Ernest Gaines COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to Sociology of Gender and Sexuality. Through readings, lectures, discussions, podcasts, and film, students explore theories and research on sex and gender differences, gender inequality, and sexuality across societies. Using a sociological lens, students examine how gender and gender inequality shape, and are shaped by, a variety of institutions, such as families, schools, religion and the workplace. The course also addresses how gender is implicated in cultural definitions of work, violence, intimacy, sexuality, physical attractiveness, and other social phenomena. In this course, we will use peer-reviewed social science literature, population-level survey data, and popular media to critically analyze the concepts of sex, gender, and sexuality. This class will introduce students to the sociology of gender and sexuality broadly, as we explore various topics throughout the semester. Lectures will provide brief historical and contemporary context, as well as a data snapshot to ground discussions in quantitative evidence. Assigned readings and films focus largely on how gender and sexuality are experienced in the United States, and as often as possible, center the voices of women, queer, transgender, non-binary, and intersex folks, people of color, indigenous peoples, and other oppressed groups.

  • “The Trans Tipping Point”: Assessing Contemporary Transgender Visibility in Alternative
    “The Trans Tipping Point”: Assessing Contemporary Transgender Visibility in Alternative and Mainstream Media By Emma Faron Konst A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies and Critical Theory in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada Final (QSpace) June, 2018 Copyright © Konst, 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to develop a rubric for the assessment of recent transgender visibility across disparate media spaces. The rubric is based upon the critiques of transgender studies scholars and transgender activists on transgender representation in media. The rubric aims to address the most salient issues found in contemporary transgender representation and guide its user toward identifying more inclusive forms of transgender visibility that resist stereotypes. The rubric is both a resource for the analysis of transgender visibility as well as the production of media that focuses upon or includes transgender subjects. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is indebted to the transgender activists, artists and academics who have dedicated their lives to pushing for transgender representation, inclusion and power in various social, economic and political spheres. The research produced herein could not be possible without their efforts. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………....i Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………………….ii Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………...iii Introduction………………………………………………………………………………….1 Chapter 1: Literature

I offer my sincere gratitude to the educators, student-serving professionals and professional counselors who serve as a champion, voice and resource for the LGBTQ community. While a lot of progress has been made on the road to equality, there is still a lot of work to be done, especially in paving the way for our youngest citizens. Rejection from peers, adults and family, the effects of bullying and concerns for safety are a reality for many of our LGBTQ youth. This conference provides a much needed forum for youth-serving professionals to gain a better 3 understanding of the challenges our youth face, build a stronger awareness and cultural competency, learn best practices, gain valuable resources from leading experts and foster relationships with individuals in the same or similar career fields.

Course Description New technologies, from social media and smart homes to gene editing and AI, shape our lives in new and often unpredictable ways. Although technology may seem to develop apart from society, social and cultural studies of science and technology (science and technology studies or STS), demonstrate that technology is shaped by history, social conditions, and cultural context such as dominant norms and values. Since the first factories of the 18th century, modern technologies have been designed with particular users and bodies in mind. Feminist theories of science and technology find that understandings of gender and sex affect—and often determine—technology design and use. Queer theory pushes further these questions to ask how sexuality, identity, personhood, emotions, and materiality help us understand technology and its implications for society and the future. This course introduces students to the intersection of feminist STS and queer studies, to examine how cultural norms around bodies, identity, selfhood, gender, and sexuality shape the production of knowledge and expertise. We will engage with foundational theories and concepts, including heteronormativity, the social construction of technology, the production of space and place, and the relationship between power, knowledge, and subjectivity.

    #TransJusticeSyllabus Sociologists for Trans Justice 2017-2018 Compiled by: Committee for Advancing Trans and Intersex Studies in Academia (Megan Nanney, Jaclyn Tabor, Anne Marie Champagne, Chris Barcelos, Emmanuel David, Xan Nowakowski, Vicky Demos, James Dean, Anima Adjepong, Jacob Sargent, Rhea Hoskin, Kalani Seaver) Contact Information: Should you want to contribute to the syllabus or have any questions, please contact the committee chairs, Megan Nanney ([email protected]) and Jaclyn Tabor ​ ​ ([email protected]). You can also send suggestions to ​ ​ [email protected]. ​ About the Syllabus: In society today, we are presented with a paradox of sorts: on one hand, there have been significant social and political advances regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. Yet, on ​ ​ the other hand, with increasing visibility and progress, there is also a simultaneous and almost inevitable increase in the backlash targeting the most vulnerable segments of the LGBTQ population--trans and non-binary people. In 2017 alone, the Human Rights Campaign has recorded at least 27 death of trans people in the United States due to fatal violence, making it the most violent year against trans people to date. It is also clear that trans violence and oppression disproportionately affects trans women of color, and that racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia intersect in ways that shorten the lives of trans people (Spade 2015). Additionally, trans people experience social, economic, and political marginalization due to the lack of legal representation, barriers to gender-affirming healthcare, legal name and gender changes, physical spaces, and other seemingly neutral administrative systems that enforce narrow binary categories of gender and force people into them in order to get their basic needs met.
