Border Crossings. 4

Catalog description

4. This course examines the concept of ?the border? that has worked to exclude those seen as not properly a part of ?normal? American citizenry. Using the methodology and theoretical commitments of early ?outsider? and activist scholarship, the course traces more recent scholarly movements in disability theory, critical legal theory and queer theory to examine the use of discourses of exclusion and resistance in current border controversies, such as the movement of migrant labor across the Arizona/Mexico border.
