C Race, Gender, and Sexuality

Catalog description

Term hours: 54 lecture. This course is a critical examination of gender and sexuality through the historical and contemporary experiences of African Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, Latinas/os/xs, Native Americans and other "racialized" groups in the United States. The course analyzes how gender and sexuality intersect with race, ethnicity, nationality, class, religion, and other systems of power and dominance. Ethnic Studies frameworks and methodologies are employed to assess how racism, (hetero)sexism, homophobia, and transphobia intersect to shape the experiences of QTPOC (Queer and Trans People of Color) communities and cisgender heterosexual women and men of color as they may relate to labor, family, politics, identity, resistance and creative expression.
