MUSI 207 - Love Songs Through the Ages

Institution:
Millersville University of Pennsylvania
Subject:
Music
Description:
Exploration of sex positive themes in vocal music. This course addresses diversity through a discussion of sex positivity and how this idea relates to feminism and topics within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) community; and with other related topics such as marriage, monogamy, courtship rituals, and the like. While this is a music course and thus provides specific information about how music achieves its expressive ends, it also provides a broad perspective on relevant human issues and how music not only reflects but also helps to transmit and to shape human values. The course will examine the historical and environmental factors that underlie differences in sexual mores; examine the potential global, regional, and/or local factors that underlie these differences; engage students in articulating their personal worldview through oral and written communication; foster information literacy as it relates to diversity; and provide an academic structure for students to engage with peoples of diverse sexual practices and beliefs. The culture of embracing (or at least accepting) alternative sexual mores is a worldview that reflects beliefs, customs, values, politics, and experiences as shaped by age, economics, education, gender, geography, language, nationality, occupation, physical ability, race and ethnicity, religious affiliation, and/or sexual orientation among other factors.
