Theories of Feminism and Queer Studies

Catalog description

This course provides an overview of feminist, gender, and queer theory at the advanced undergraduate level. It will focus on the historical and theoretical foundations of feminism, gender, and queer theory; examine the ways in which gender theories approach femininities and masculinities as social, cultural, political, and economic constructions; and in a similar vein, it will explore the ways in which we can draw from queer theory to problematize heteronormativity and destabilize gender and other identities.
