CRWR 208 - Queer Futures

FC ARHU CD WINT

4 credits
This course explores how the project of self-making often gets bound up with the project of world-making in queer literature. Class texts range from theory to speculative fiction to autobiography, with attention to why queer work often invites collisions between genres. Readings will be the basis for semi-weekly writing assignments, plus a larger project to be workshopped. This class will invite students, in their writing, to imagine a future world for a future self, to imagine the end to racial and gendered hierarchies and resource extraction, to imagine queer love in the wreckage, or simply to create something new.
