GWS 302 - Queer Theory

Notions of queerness date back to the 1800s but the discipline of queer theory emerges in the 1980s. This course chronologically explores the evolution of queerness as a fluid social construct leading to academic theories in many disciplines, resulting in political strategies to fight sexual oppression. Students, utilizing a trans-disciplinary approach, will examine how different groups and individuals define queer.
