This writing-intensive course provides in-depth study of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender literature and/or film in the historical context of GLBT social and political movements as well as the development of queer theory. Focus may vary by instructor. Some topics might include the impact of heteronormativity, response to social stigma, subcultural discovery and transmission, and the constructed-versus-essential nature of sexuality and gender.
