This class will introduce students to the field of lesbian and gay studies, exploring the breadth of the field, and posing questions about the future of this academic discipline. We will begin by situating LGBT studies within the broader context of gay and lesbian history, closely examining the question of when modern homosexual identities emerged. Next, we will read a series of watershed theoretical essays, focusing on issues of authorship and audience. Transgenderism will be situated within the context of gay and lesbian history, and read through a series of primary sources and critical essays. As we move into the 21st century, emphasis will be place upon global and transnational gay and lesbian identities, and upon the discipline of anthropology as it has traditionally been used to interpret gay and lesbian behavior in contexts outside of the West. Finally, we will look at several contemporary issues, such as the "gay gene" and gay marriage, in order to consider how partisan politics create peculiar divides in contemporary gay and lesbian activism.
