Course Title: Women and Gender in the Study of Culture: 'Global Queer Narratives'
Start Date: 09/07/2022 End Date: 12/20/2022
Term: Fall Semester 2022
Description: This course explores contemporary transnational representations of LGBTQ+ identities in literature, film, and digital media and cultures. We will examine the role of storytelling in not only reflecting queer lived experiences, but also the possibilities of narrative as a corrective, restorative project for imagining alternative worlds and futures. In considering global contexts, this course does not assume singular definitions of LGBTQ+ identities, but rather uses the transnational to decenter Eurocentric definitions of gender and sexuality as well as intersecting categories of race and ability. Authors may include Audre Lorde, Samra Habib, Frieda Ekotto, and Pajtim Statovci.
