SOCJ 392: Queer, Trans & Nonbinary Studies

Course Description

This course provides a survey of contemporary arguments and critical terms used in the fields of queer, trans, and nonbinary studies. Emphasis will be on using queer theory and trans studies as lenses through which to analyze cultural representations of queerness, transness and nonbinariness (in fiction, film, media, culture, and history), while also examining the ways in which queer, trans, and nonbinary studies as a field and critical approach challenge heteronormative and cisnormative knowledges and institutions.
