Course Description

This seminar investigates queer theory and constructions of gender and sexuality as addressed in empirical studies, narratives, film and activism. Students will explore how gender and sexual identities intersect with race, ethnicity, class, place, age and disability. Areas of inquiry include identity, community, embodiment, violence and social movements. We will critically analyze which texts have been considered central to queer theory and which have been marginalized.
