Intro To Queer Studies

Course Description

Introduction to the interdisciplinary field of queer studies through an examination of key texts and practices.

It will examine the application of queer theory in fields such as economics, anthropology, literature, cultural studies, and film studies. Of particular concern will be ways gender and sexuality intersect with race, ethnicity, nationality, and class.
