English 233f - Introduction to Queer Theory

Institution:

Mount Holyoke College

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces students to the social and political contexts mediating nonnormative gender and sexual expression since the nineteenth century. In our examination of queer epistemological genealogies and methodologies, we will also consider the value of queer theory as a subjectless analysis as opposed to a queer of color critique that calls into question the sedimentation of a white, male, North American queer identity with global pretensions.
