LIT 242LGBTQ Literature

Catalog

This course introduces students to contemporary literature by and about LGBT/Queer people. We will examine the intersections of LGBT/Q people across gender identity, race, class, ability, etc. Through engagement with novels, short stories, and movies, we will identify and discuss major social and political issues that shape LGBT/Q experiences. To frame these conversations and deepen our understanding, primary works will be paired with cultural criticism. This course meets the General Education requirement for Creative Work.
