Intersex Initiative director Emi Koyama will be teaching the course "Intersexuality: An Interdisciplinary Exploration" for the second time this summer from June 23 thru July 17 at Portland State University. If you are interested in learning everything there is to know about the intersex movement, register now to take part in this course--it's probably the only such class in the world. The class meets Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-3:20pm.
"Intersexuality" is an interdisciplinary exploration on social, medical, biological, and political issues surrounding intersexuality and the lives of intersex people. First, students will learn basic biological facts about intersexuality as well as the current treatment protocol on intersex conditions. Second, students will read about the patient-centered reform movement by intersex people as well as among medical professionals. Lastly, students will learn to critically analyze medical, academic, and popular culture texts produced about intersexuality from the patient-centered point of view. The course centers around discussions on readings, but also incorporates lectures, films, and guest speakers.
This 4-credit course is offered through the Women's Studies Department of Portland State University, and is supervised by Dr. Ann Mussey. To register, visit PSU's "summer session" site at http://www.summer.pdx.edu or come to the class on June 23 at CH 150. For more information, email info@ipdx.org.
