POL 236 - Queer Politics (3)

This course is designed to have students explore political struggles around the marginalization and the social inclusion of people who are LGBT+ or otherwise “queer.” This course will investigate the expansion of the term “queer” from being a part of, and sometimes at odds with LGBT+ identities, to its more contemporary uses to denote non-normative modes of knoweldge, cultural practices, and political activism. This course looks both at the history of treatment of queer individuals and communities within the political system, and also how queer activism has tried to use the same system to fight for their own equality and inclusion.
