HIS 390C - Queer History of Los Angeles

Institution:

Antioch University-System Administration

Subject:

Description:

This course investigates where, when, and how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities have developed and how queer community formation intersects with the city's racial, ethnic, and economic geography. The course reaches beyond the most obvious sites of queer life to understand less-recognized queer histories, particularly those in communities of color, immigrant communities, and among transgender people. Through discussions, the class constructs a map and timeline of queer L.A. and explores how this map and timeline contribute to an understanding of racial, economic, and other hierarchies in the city. Finally, the class looks at queer activism and how it has shaped queer history and historical geography in L.A. and the L.A. basin. No grade equivalent allowed. SOCIAL SCIENCE DOMAIN
