Trans Queer Autotheories

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

What is autotheory, where did it come from, and how did it find us? What communities have given rise to autotheory’s methods and what are its preoccupations and politics? This course introduces autotheory’s roots in trans and queer of color feminisms, comparative ethnic studies, and decolonial critique. We’ll not only study autotheoretical registers of relation and resistance, but also experiment at the intersections of critical and creative practice.
