Rather than treating intimacy as purely private, we examine how structural forces\u2014such as patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, heteronormativity, fatphobia, and ableism\u2014shape desirability and belonging. Drawing on feminist, queer, and trans scholarship, we consider consent, kinship, pleasure, sexual violence, digital intimacy, sex work, and alternative relationship models.<br \/>\n3 crs.<br \/>\n<strong>Session 1<\/strong> (5\/18-6\/20)<br \/>\n<strong>Schedule:<\/strong> Online<br \/>\n<strong>Course delivery:<\/strong> Online-Asynchronous<br \/>\n<strong>General education outcome:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Additional fees:<\/strong> No additional fees.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cl-button prominent\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/register\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn how to register<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This course explores how intimacy, love, sex, and relationships are shaped by gender, race, sexuality, power, and social institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":573,"featured_media":53907,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[300],"tags":[1045],"class_list":["post-61108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-session-1","tag-n-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/573"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61108"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63085,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61108\/revisions\/63085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/summer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
