46-2435 Race, Gender, and Sexuality

In this course, we will think through the interrelationships of race, gender and sexuality as categories of social identity and difference, investigating how these categories have been constructed through and in relation to one another. We will consider a range of materials and methods, including cultural studies, social and cultural history, feminist and queer theory, literature, and film. Our approach emphasizes intersectionality: how race, gender, and sexuality are implicated within one another as well as within other systems of power.
