Comparative LGBT Politics

4 credits

This course is designed to expose students to the study of LGBT politics, focusing specifically on the formation of LGBT movements, the presence (or absence) of political opportunities to advance their desired goals, as well as their political success (or lack thereof). Although the course will initially examine the U.S. LGBT movement, the course will also examine the formation (and political success/failure) of LGBT movements in other democratic political systems. Prerequisites: upper-division standing.
