WGS 343 - Queer Studies

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This course serves as an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of queer studies, a critical approach to thinking about sexuality that emerged in academic and activist contexts in the early 1990''s as a critique of normative models of sex, gender, and sexuality. This course will survey a cross section of queer thought, ranging from some of its earliest expressions by writers such as Foucault, Sedgwick and Butler to some of its contemporary manifestations and innovations (e.g., J. Jack Halberstam's Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender, and the End of Normal). Note: While this course has no prerequisites, it is highly suggested that students have advanced writing and analytical abilities and a foundational WGS course.
