There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

This module will begin with an introductory/ground rules session in which we clarify the approach to the module and assessment. We will then look at key theoretical ideas, eg heteronormativity and its relationship to law, and use this as a perspective from which to critique the law’s approach to various sexualities and genders (cis and trans). The end of the module will consider issues of ‘conscience’, and may include topics such as religion, gender and sexuality; abortion, etc.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: demonstrate a systematic understanding of key aspects of the field of sex, sexuality, gender and the law.

LO2: demonstrate coherent and detailed knowledge of the field, at least some of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of aspects of law in an inter-disciplinary context.

LO3: critically evaluate arguments, assumptions and abstract concepts and relate them to our everyday lives.

LO4: communicate effectively in writing, employing a degree of originality and creativity

LO5: manage your own learning, including the generation of inner feedback that enhances your autonomy as a learner.
