Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours

This course considers how visual culture produces and contests concepts of sexuality in American society. We will analyze how mainstream culture depicts and universalizes certain experiences of gender and sexuality, as they are inflected by race, ethnicity, class and nationalism, as well as how marginalized groups have used visual representation to contest and subvert these hegemonic ideals. This class fulfills the feminist theory recommendation for the major. Enrollment Limit: 30
