Feminist and Queer Theorizing
What are the big ideas that shape feminist and queer theories? What is the relationship between feminist and queer theories? How do lived experiences of sex, gender, and sexuality intersect with systems of power? This interdisciplinary course examines questions of intersectional desire, affect, identity, politics, power dynamics, subjection, and existential choice. It considers feminist and queer theories in conversation with trans theory; critical disability studies; critical race theory; transnational, anti-colonial, and decolonial scholarship; and anti-capitalist interventions.
