HIST-UA 655 - Race, Gender, and Sexuality in U.S. History

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Drawing primarily on the histories of heterosexual and homosexual African Americans and women, this course explores the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in 19th- and 20th-century American history. Throughout U.S. history, the social, economic, moral, and political arguments advanced to sustain the subordination of people of color, women, and gays and lesbians have frequently revolved around the sphere of sexuality. We explore important historical subjects such as abolition, lynching, welfare Department of History debates, teenage pregnancy policies, reproductive rights, and the Black Power movement, with special attention paid to the intertwined histories of racial, gender, and sexual oppression.
