CAST 447 - Queer Positions

FC ARHU

4 credits
When queer is a verb, what does it mean? This course explores key issues in the field of queer theory, including the relationship of sex, gender, race, class, and ability; critiques of liberalism and multiculturalism; normativity and resistance; representation and cultural production; and the politics of time and space. We will pay particular attention to the relationship between theory and practice in order to explore different approaches to social change.
Prerequisites & Notes: Prior coursework in CAST or a related field strongly recommended.
