Description
The graduate seminar in queer and trans studies offers an interdisciplinary forum to engage a dynamic and growing area of study in the humanities and social sciences. Students will read and analyze key works in the field, consider major themes and debates, and write an independent research essay. The course takes an intersectional approach to gender and sexuality as imbricated with structures of race, ethnicity, class, nation, citizenship, and other categories.
