Trans Latinx Studies

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the study of gender from a decolonial feminist perspective. We will study the dynamic and rapidly growing field of Trans* Latinx Studies, an interdisciplinary field whose goal is the study Latina/o/x/ Chicana/o/x gender and sexuality as complex cultural, political, and intersectional formations in present-day settler-colonial societies. We will focus on trans* embodiments, people, and cultural production (the thinking, doing, relating, & re-organizing as a process of resisting coloniality).
