Advanced interdisciplinary course integrates seminar discussion of theories, methodologies, policy reports, and popular culture to explore economic concerns of LGBTQI populations in/of the US. We ask: how would we fare as trans*women, single bisexual men, queer immigrant youth, intersex adults, or as Latina lesbian parents? Seminars focus on synthesizing weekly readings and discussing field-specific writing techniques. Each student designs an individual research project proposal to investigate a specific economic aspect of American LGBTQI life.
