GWS 375 - Theories of Gender and Sexuality

3.00 credit hours
A rigorous study that draws on the academic field of queer theory to consider gender and sexuality as constructed categories with powerful material consequences. The course also grapples with a) the question of what it means to be an ally to oppressed populations and b) controversies about the notion of a relationship between biology, genders and sexualities. The course includes a significant comparative element, considering theories of gender and sexuality across cultural and national borders.

Prerequisite(s): GWS 100  or instructor consent.
