ENGLISH 766 / Feminist, Queer, and Trans Theory

3 unit(s)

M. Gough (cross-listed as CULTR ST 766)

This seminar sets out to imagine effective ways for feminist, queer, and trans theories to meet, ally, and perhaps intermingle. We will examine areas of distinction and contention between these three discursive sites; discuss key topics, such as normativity and identity, about which all three fields have had important things to say; and ask how feminist, queer, and trans theorists separately and together might make effective intellectual and political interventions across the fields of critical race studies, postcolonial studies, gender studies, and sexuality studies.
