SP TOP:QUEER THEORY IN STUDENT DEVELOPMENT

Catalog description

This course will introduce queer theory and examine its contemporary applications. By exploring concepts of sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, and sexual behavior, students will examine the social construction and categorization of queer identities. Using the interdisciplinary frameworks of queer theory, students will interrogate how questions of power, normalcy, and deviancy impact public discourse, especially in relation to higher education.
