Queer Theory

4.0 credits

The goal of this course is to radically problematize the concepts of queer, gender and sexuality, fundamentally questioning the assumptions that attend the usage and deployment of these terms in quotidian discourse. This will not be your typical queer theory course as we will not move from the center to the margins, relegating racialized bodies to the position of reactionary actors responding to an epistemic erasure. Rather we will center these critiques as the basis for a new canon and thus grounds for theory.
