GWSS 502 A: Feminist Queer and Trans Inquiries

Foregrounding feminist frameworks, examines the theorization of gender and sexuality within queer and trans studies. Students explore the tools these fields have for understanding such formations at the conjuncture of race, ability, class, citizenship, and other social matrices, and learn to situate their analyses of gender and sexuality within genealogies of thought dedicated to dismantling hierarchies of oppression.
