[Histmaj] Brand New Class Now Open for Autumn: HSTAM 343: Gender and Sexuality in Medieval Europe

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Good morning Historians-
I think some of you have been looking for a Pre-Modern class that is also Upper Division.  We now have an excellent new class for that in Autumn 2025.
Gender and Sexuality in Medieval Europe, taught by Prof. Charity Urbanski
HSTAM/GWSS 343 A MW 130-320pm
https://history.washington.edu/courses/2025/autumn/hstam/343/a
The Middle Ages played a critical role in the construction of modern Western gender and sexual identities, as well as our conception of love and romance. This course explores medieval European conceptions of gender and sexuality through the close reading of primary sources, including Christian religious texts, legal texts, medical treatises, histories, and a variety of literary genres. Topics will include normative Christian views of gender (both masculinity and femininity) and sexuality, as well as forms of gender expression and sexuality that the Church condemned and attempted to police, legislative efforts to enforce gender and sexual norms, medieval understandings of non-binary and intersex bodies, and ideas about love and marriage.
Happy Wednesday!
