SOC 350 Sex in the Age of Corona
Hybrid TR 2:30-3:45 PM

The purpose of this class is to examine the way that COVID-19 has affected how people socialize, try to establish romantic connections, and engage in sexual behavior. Because COVID-19 is transmitted through the air, it hinders all stages of the relationship, not just sexual activity. This course considers the effects COVID-19 has had on psychological well-being. Proposed solutions to the problems created by COVID-19 are examined. The current pandemic is placed in historical context with other events including the AIDS crisis and the Pandemic of 1918. In light of COVID, the class is designed to be taught as a hybrid with in-class attendance available, however, it is also possible to complete the entire course online.  (For more information, contact Dr. Jim Beggan.)
