We will also ask questions to assess what the campus climate is like for you. We welcome suggestions for improvements! The entire survey should take about 15 minutes.

Summer II Course – AFST 344: Leadership in African American Communities
This course is designed to be a seminar examining the leadership experiences, challenges and opportunities facing the African American community presently, historically and in the future. In this seminar, we will interrogate definitions, literature, theory, accomplishments and "representations" of leadership in the African American community. While the course was designed with these objectives in mind, in many ways, it is an uncharted exploration for both students and the professor to question the existing conditions of African American leadership in society. This is an online course with live online sessions using Blackboard, 4:30-6:00 p.m., Thursdays, for five weeks.

Summer II Course – WGS 293: Gender and the Social Construction of Sexuality
This interdisciplinary course will investigate how gender and sexuality are defined and informed by the world in which we live. Through an immersive exploration of history, literature, religion, art, music and even food, we'll dissect the cultural "norms" that construct society. Utilizing new social media, we'll then examine the manner in which we perform and perpetuate these social constructions and discuss how the personal is still political in the Internet age. Some of the topics we will cover include gender roles, heteronormativity and LGBTQ issues, sexual scripts and consent and sexing the body. Particular focus will be on minority populations and those with multiple intersecting identities (e.g. race/ethnicity, class, gender identity, sexual orientation).
