PO 292 - Global LGBTQI + Politics and Culture

Introducing theories of sexual and gender identity, this course provides cross-cultural and cross-historical case studies in LGBTQI+ politics and culture. We focus on forms of homophobic and transphobic oppression, different forms of sexual and gender identity, and the emergence in the late 20th Century of LGBTQI+ politics and culture in its current form. The course draws upon intersectional approaches that examine sexuality and gender in relationship with race, ethnicity, class, and other forms of social identity.
