WGS 392 - Queer and Transgender Theory

Department: Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies

Description: Interdisciplinary survey of major figures, concepts, and schools of thought informing dialogues and dissonances between feminist, queer, and trans theory. Explores queerness as a category of radical difference that gives LGBTQIA+ cultures their social distinctiveness and political urgency. Deconstructs sex/gender/sexuality at intersections of difference. Considers transnational and queer-people-of-color critiques; defamiliarizes understandings of the body; and offers queer cultural criticism.
