■Course Description
This course introduces and explores gender and sexuality studies, mainly from a sociological perspective, by examining various issues in recent Japanese society.

In Japan today, we frequently hear terms such as the “gender gap” and “LGBTQ”, some of which may be regarded as “current must-know terms” for university examinations or employment examinations. However, not many people recognize that gender is essentially a matter of power-knowledge . Gender, as power-knowledge, acts as a structural background that goes beyond the good or bad intentions of individuals. This course aims to examine from a sociological perspective how gender as power-knowledge makes various things unremarkable and socially “natural” (e.g., stay-at-home moms, heterosexual couples) but other things more distinctive (e.g., stay-at-home dads, gay couples).

Based on traditional discussions of power relations between men and women, this course will outline recent discussions focusing on complex relations among women and among men that do not always fit into the monolithic scheme of “male domination of women”. In the first half of the semester (lectures 1–6), we will learn basic ideas and concepts in gender and sexuality studies; in the second half (lectures 7–14), we will examine social issues, mainly in recent Japanese society.

As indicated in the Course Plan below, the lecture topics do not cover the details of some issues that are generally of social interest, such as the wage gap between men and women and work–life balance. (*This is NOT because these topics are trivial, but because of time limitations. They are important not only in gender studies but also in many related fields of social sciences, both theoretically and empirically. As such, these topics will be covered in supplemental materials, which will be introduced as appropriate in each lecture). Instead, within the limited course time available, this class will focus more on the topic of “gender and violence”. Although there has been relatively a little chance to learn about gender and violence in classes in Japan compared with other gender-related topics, this topic has received increasing attention over the past several years. By examining recent cases in Japanese society, we will learn how sexual violence in families, schools, workplaces, and public areas are ubiquitous and gendered.

■Goals of the course
Students in this course will learn basic concepts and ideas in gender and sexuality studies, and will be able to explain them with reference to examples from a sociological perspective. Students will also acquire the ability to think from multiple viewpoints, including those of people with different backgrounds.

*NOTE
・In this course, topics regarding violence (including rape and hate crimes) will be discussed in multiples sessions. In some sessions, an alternative assignment will be provided for students who are not comfortable being exposed to such topics, to ensure that they will not be disadvantaged in grading. However, if you have any concerns about your mental or physical well-being as a result of being exposed to such topics and discussions in class, please carefully consider your enrollment in this course.
