"Sex in the City" Now a U of T Course
This may well the the bird course di tutti bird courses:University College at the University of Toronto this fall offers first-year students a new course, UNI10471: Sex in the City, taught by Dr. Scott Rayter, the school’s associate director of sexual diversity studies. Students enrolled in a full-year course called UC One: Engaging Toronto, whose lecturers will include former mayor David Miller and Ontario’s minister of research and innovation, Glen Murray, can choose Sex in the City among four spring-session seminars.
The Sex in the City course description elaborates: “Students will learn about the sexual politics of the city and how cities and their neighbourhoods become sexualized spaces. How and why do certain spaces become ‘gay ghettos’ or villages? How some spaces are designated or coded as ‘safe,’ ‘dangerous,’ or ‘sexual,’ and how are these designations inflected by racial and class markers?”
Dr. Rayter said a lot of students want to talk about sex...
No kidding.

I wish some of my kids would aspire to be plumbers or electricians, instead of wanting to attend university.
