GSST 015. Current Topics in Gender and Sexuality Studies: Transgender Worlds

(Cross-listed as LITR 015)
Transgender Worlds explores transgender in diverse and transdisciplinary representational contexts such as film, literature, medical and political discourses, popular media, feminist theory and activism. We will address, among other things, the following overarching questions: How does transgender function as an umbrella term? What is transfeminism? How do transgender studies and queer theory inform each other and how do they differ? How do trans identity politics work in transnational literary, medical, psychoanalytic, political, and media representations? What does trans have to do with post-colonial discourses and intersectionality? This class is eligible for GSST and GMST majors and minors.
