WGST 4143 - Black Masculinity, Health, and Society


Exploration of the meanings of Black manhood and the various constructions of Black masculine identity in America and beyond. Students discuss Black male sexuality, including sexual identity development and theories on sexual orientation development.  Critical analysis is also given to masculinity theory and how masculinity influences African American men’s health, reproductive health, healthcare use, and relationships with women and LGBTQ individuals in the context of other health behavioral theories.  Additionally, an intersectional exploration into how Black masculinity is embodied in race, class, education, gender, pop culture, hip hop culture, sports culture, and prison culture is examined in the context of masculinity dimensions.
