- Critical Girlhood Studies -WST 6935 – Section 16A3
J. Hernandez. M 6-8 (12:50PM – 3:50PM), 3 credits. This course enacts a critical mapping of girls’ studies, an intellectual formation that coalesced into a sub-field of Women’s and Gender Studies in the late 1990s. The course will consist in part of a survey of work in the field, but the bulk of our efforts will place analytic pressure on the question of which girls become legible as the “proper objects” of girls’ studies and what questions about girlhood are (im)possible to ask. We will think collectively and creatively to (re)imagine what histories, methods, pedagogies and futures a formation of critical girlhood studies could offer as both an intellectual and social justice project. Course material will reflect the instructor’s expertise in the areas of sexuality, arts-based community praxis, Black and Latinx studies, and popular cultures. - Intersectional Activisms – WST 6935 – Section 17F1
K. Broad. R 6-8 (12:50PM-3:50PM), 3 credits. Early intersectional work arose from, and was grounded in, social movement activism, especially activism by feminist/queer/trans women of color, yet the field of intersectional studies has developed in ways that mask its political origin and neutralize the potential of intersectional collective action and resistance. This course seeks to re-center knowledge and strategies of resistance from intersectional social movement activism. We will read research featuring Black feminist intersectional activism as strategically operating between social movements, work tracing Chicana feminist strategies of alliance building and coalition, research detailing how political and economic forces have reduced multi-dimensional queer politics, and research detailing the nuances of online intersectional movement work. - Feminist/Queer of Color Studies – WST 6935 – Section 3B38
T. Saunders. T 8-10 (3-6PM), 3 credits. This graduate level course is a survey course of the scholarship and key debates in the emerging fields of Black Queer/Queer of Color Studies, which have their origins in Black, Chicana, and Latina Feminist Studies. We will take a sociological approach to understanding how race, sexuality, gender, and coloniality affects our understanding of ourselves, and how we experience social life through placing non-heteronormative Black and Latinx Queer subjects at the center of our analyses. We will engage the social implications of the scientific study on sexuality, engage key theoretical perspectives in the area of queer/sexuality studies, and review empirical studies concerning Black and Latinx queer identities and cultural politics within Africa and the Diaspora in the Americas. The goal of the course is to give you a strong theoretical and empirical base from which you can think about Diaspora, race, gender, sexuality and society.
