Netherlands: International Perspectives on Sexuality and Gender
Program Highlights
Students follow sexuality and gender identity across borderlines and learn to apply theory cross-culturally when learning from academics and professionals in the Netherlands, Croatia and Turkey.
Based in Amsterdam, this program offers rich opportunities for students to explore issues of gender and sexuality based on their interests. For the Sexuality and Gender Seminar, students choose intensive study in either critical theory, tolerance and sexual health education, or film-making with a sexuality and gender lens.
Amsterdam’s wealth of community organizations focused on sexuality and gender issues allows students to get actively involved and learn from people who are on the front-lines. A Field Study Practicum helps focus student learning and analytical skills when working with a local organization.
In addition to international excursions, students participate in field visits and local excursions, individually or as a group, including a tour of the Red Light District; visit to the Rutgers/NISSO archive (Netherlands Institute for Social Sexual Research); IHLIA (International Homo/Lesbian Info Center and Archive); Gender Clinic at the Vrije Universiteit Medical Center; and others.
