Class Notes
From the instructor: This course explores the concept of gender in queer theory through the lens of contemporary trans studies. Drawing on critical theory, popular culture, and poetry, while combining critical and creative practices, this class examines the stakes of "genderqueer/non-binary" and "trans" as categories and embodied realities in the present historical moment -- both within and beyond the parameters of identity and academic life. This course will be taught synchronously, but the instructor is willing to discuss possibilities for asynchronous instruction with students for whom there are scheduling conflicts.
