4 Hour(s)
S1 and CCD

This is an introductory course in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ*) Studies. In this course, we will examine contributions of scholars from a range of academic and non-academic disciplines, develop a better understanding of LGBTQ* identities and intersectional forms of oppression, better understand LGBTQ*issues and perspectives, and demonstrate how LGBTQ* studies have influenced and continue to shape cultural and social theories broadly. This course will examine marginalized sexual and gender identities and the hetero-majority as categories for further investigation -we will also develop a better understanding of the social constructions of LGBTQ* people and LGBTQ* culture.
