HU 1150 - Introduction to Gender + Sexuality Studies
Credits: 3
Course Type: Lecture
This course is an introduction to topics in the field of gender and sexuality studies. Taking a global and interdisciplinary approach, this survey explores the intersections of feminist and queer theory, studying the diverse histories, methodologies, and practices that have helped to shape our understandings of the world. How do we move beyond essentialist attitudes that reinforce binary structures of the self and the other? Upon successful completion of this course, students will gain a greater awareness for how institutional powers shape perceptions of identity categories, and conversely how feminist and queer strategies employ fluidity, relationality, and disruption to challenge master narratives.
