LGBTQ Philosophy

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Using philosophical methods to interrogate the discipline of philosophy itself, from a certain queer standpoint, is something you can expect from this course. “Philosophy as a discipline needs more space for exploratory, creative, personal, and boundary-pushing work—more space for queer play” writes Carolina Flores (2025), about a field which is rapidly growing and changing. Contemporary LGBTQ+ philosophy also often intersects with trans*studies, disability studies, feminist black studies and more.
