Sexuality and gender define what it is to be human: they are at the core of our existence. But how does society define and reinforce these concepts? How do these concepts impact our relationships within society, and what analytical tools have been developed to study their role in social and familial relationships?

The introductory summer programme on Sexuality explores Amsterdam, known for its tolerance and liberal policies, provides the perfect setting to In this program, students will be equipped with the analytical tools to study these themes critically and reflexively.>> contact the GSSS Summer Programmes Office for more information: +31 (0)20 525 3776, e-mail: summer-info-gsss@uva.nl, Skype: summer-gsss-uva
