Restriction: Must not have completed LGBT265.
Cross-listed with: ENGL265.
Credit only granted for: ENGL265 or LGBT265.
A study of literary and cultural expressions of queer and trans identities, positionalities, and analytics through an exploration of literature, art, and media. We will examine historical and political power relations by considering the intersections of sexuality and gender with race, class, nation, and disability. Topics include the social construction and regulation of sexuality and gender, performance and performativity, intersectionality, and the relationship between aesthetic forms and queer/ trans subjectivity. Our interpretations will be informed by queer and trans theories.

LGBT448L
Special Topics in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies; Black Queer Studies
Credit only granted for LGBT448L or AASP498Y or AMST498D. Taking an intersectional and interdisciplinary approach to LGBTQ+ Studies and Black Studies we will center Blackness to meditate upon the overlapping and interwoven categories of race, gender, and sexuality - with the goal of decoupling whiteness from LGBTQ+ studies and decoupling heterosexuality from Black studies. We will look at texts from literature, film, history, and the social sciences in order to trace topical trajectories of Black queer thought. Throughout we will considerhow Black queer liberation can, and has, provided tools and a guide for our collective liberation.
