WGS 311 - Queer Theories

Upper division

Prerequisites
WGS 101 is highly recommended but not required

This course utilizes a wide range of theoretical approaches to understanding the nature of queerness. How do we think about “queer” people and acts that challenge the dominant ways of thinking about sex, gender, and sexuality? Taking a multi-displinary approach, this class will examine the representation of queerness in literature, art, and science in contemporary society, looking critically at cultural practices and constructs that shape sexuality as act and as identity.
