Performance And/As Gender

Undergraduate

This course introduces students to the field of gender studies through performance, and the field of performance studies through gender. We examine performances spanning several genres—performance art, ballroom, hyperpop, musical theater, and more. Grounding these case studies, we also read theory from an array of thinkers including J.L. Austin, Judith Butler, Tavia Nyong'o, Gayle Salamon and Nina Sun Eidsheim, to name a few. WR W 4pm-5:55pm
