4 credits · Undergraduate

This course explores key concepts and thinkers associated with Queer of Color Critique, its historical formation within the United States as well as its global application. A goal of this course is for students to develop a critical language for engaging with difficult theoretical texts related to racialized gender and sexuality and to think through the tensions, possibilities, and implications of the different ideas presented. In addition to theoretical texts, this course will explore various forms of cultural production, including fiction, creative nonfiction, art, performance, music, and film. Students will use concepts and ideas from class to craft independent research projects related to the themes of the course.
