| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2626 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: The course examines the history of sexology in Europe from the late 19th century to the present. We will explore the emergence and development of sexology as a scientific discipline, tracing its cultural, social, and medical roots. Through the works of pioneering works of figures like Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Havelock Ellis or Sigmund Freud to less known but equally influential sexologists like Kurt Freund and Vilmos Szilágyi, the course traces the evolution of sexology in both Western and Eastern Europe. We will consider both the societal contexts that influenced the development of sexological theories and the impact of these theories on broader cultural attitudes toward gender and sexuality.
