WS 454 Sluts and Puritans

Ms Harper explores sex, sexuality, gender, and gender expression through the ages, with an in-depth look at John Calvin (and an explanation of why Ms Harper does not like him at all) and Puritans. Listen and learn why modern issues around gender exploration have been impacted by centuries old ideas about the 'proper' role for both men and women.

From Calvin to the Salem Witch Trials, through to Cotton Mather and Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, right up to modern day philosophy in the form of What We Owe To Each Other by TM Scanlon (and a favorite quote from Marcus Aurelius!) learn about social and cultural forces that have in the past and can in the future shape the way you experience your own sexual landscape.
