WGSS 327 Summer 2015 Online Course
Using the acronym LGBT as our starting point, this course will examine the
social, political, cultural, and academic nuances of these terms, their
meanings, and deployments. We will be asking who is represented by these
categories and who is left out, where do these classifications come from and
why are they necessary and potentially problematic? This course will explore
several major themes in the study of LGBTQ identities, examining how
historians, philosophers, political activists, and legal scholars have approached
social and cultural issues relating to sex, gender, and sexuality as the basis for
understanding identity.
