WGS 220 - Queer Theory

In this student-led seminar, you’ll examine queer theory through the lenses of five main topics: identity construction, activism and application, intersectional identities, class and power, and nationalism. The use of these five categorizes will guide our in-depth readings and class discussion. The course will not attempt to cover all aspects of queer theory; rather it will provide a comprehensive overview of the subject with the goal of increasing your gender literacy from an intersectional perspective.
