Description: We will explore depictions of love and sexuality as a pathology in literature, medical discourses, and popular culture. As we read about lovesick medieval knights, vampiric love affairs, pandemic love, and more, we will evaluate our contemporary assumptions about love and how concepts around love and sexuality shift over time.
