Queer Theories: Gender, Sexuality and Ideology

3 credits

This course will use an interdisciplinary framework to trace the deployment of 'queer' as a political, theoretical, legal and ideological space for living and thinking. We will both analyze and challenge the evolution of queer theory as an academic investment by tracking appearances within literature, cinema, artwork, and critical writing from approximately 1969-present. ***Prerequisite: ENGL 100 and either ENGL 110 or completion of 48 credit hours.***
