    Credit: 1

    This course takes an intersectional approach to environmental studies, emphasizing critical feminist, queer, trans, race, and disability studies.

Another goal of the class is to question how contemporary approaches to environmentalism might have arisen out of already limited epistemological frameworks and legal histories. As part of our investigation into the asymmetrical distribution of toxins and environmental fallout across different populations, students will not only grapple with biopolitical theory but also look to a range of cultural texts - from science fiction films to contemporary fiction to graphic art - to consider alternative political assemblages and strategies for survival that arise from gender and ethnic studies frameworks.

    This course will take up recent developments in political and cultural theory that engage the changing planetary and political landscape via an inquiry into the materiality of the world. We will read recent work in affect theory, object-oriented ontology and inquire into the conversation between old materialism (Marxism and class analysis) and new materialism (an interest that the physical life of the world has vital consequences for its human and animal inhabitants). Prerequisites: One other course in queer, feminist or media theory. Letter grade only.

  • GWS183 PO - Transnational Feminist Theories

    When Offered: Offered alternate years; last offered fall 2016.
    Instructor(s): A. Apgar
    Credit: 1

    Globalization has had multifarious cultural, economic and political effects on conceptualizations of “sexuality” and its relationship to gender across the world. In this class, we will learn how to situate cultural, and historical understandings of gender and sexuality in their geopolitical specificity. We will examine concepts of identity, sexual practices and queerness in relation to notions of the local-global, nationhood, the transnational, diaspora, borders, margins, and urban-rural. We will bring postcolonial, transnational, queer, and feminist disciplinary approaches to bear upon one another, in order to study how knowledge about sex, gender and sexuality is produced and disseminated transnationally.

  • GWS186 PO - Theories of the Body

    When Offered: Spring 2018.
    Instructor(s): A. Apgar
    Credit: 1

    The body has been theorized, understood and controlled in a variety of ways by artists, theorists, politicians, governments and churches, amongst many others. This course will examine the multiple modes by which the body has been understood and imagined, drawing primarily from queer, feminist, disability and critical race scholars. In addition, we will explore the political implications of how the body is theorized. Rather than perpetuating a universalist understanding of the body as ahistorical or demanding an over-determined particularity around the body that neglects forms of relationality, we will seek to balance questions of bodily matter and experience with gestures towards relations to another. We will read scholars such as Hortense Spillers, Saba Mahmood, Michel Foucault, Susan Stryker, Anne Fausto-Sterling, Jean-Luc Nancy, Mel Chen, Bryan Turner and Gilles Deleuze. Prerequisites: GWS 026 PO  or FGSS 036 SC  and one upper-division course in GWS.

    When Offered: Offered alternate years; last offered spring 2017.
    Instructor(s): H. Yapp
    Credit: 1

    The law has been a central force in managing, producing and maintaining populations based on race, gender, sexuality, class and disability. This course will not only trace the historical role of the law in such dynamics but also examine the growing body of scholarship that emerged during the latter quarter of the 20th century which sought to bring to light the role of the law in shaping power. We will situate the emergence of this scholarship, known as critical race theory, as it arose in relation to and against critical legal studies and liberal understandings of social difference. We will read influential works by scholars such as Kimberle Crenshaw, Cheryl Harris, Patricia Williams, Leti Volpp, Derrick Bell, Ian Haney-Lopez, Mari Matsuda and Charles Lawrence, amongst others. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: GWS 026 PO  or FGSS 036 SC .

  • GWS 189A PO - Critical Trans/national Masculinities

    When Offered: Fall 2017.
    Instructor(s): R. Kumar.
    Credit: 1

    This course explores the meaning of masculinity and the making of men as men. There is not one version of masculinity but rather multiple masculinities engendered by colonialism, race, class, nationality, sexuality, disability and minority subcultures. As such, we will be conducting an intersectional and feminist exploration into how masculinities are embodied and lived out transnationally. Fatness, disability, female and transgender masculinities, along with other kinds of marginalized masculinities, will be the primary focus of our study. Thus this course will also centrally engage masculinities’ entanglement with femininity and effeminacy, and will critically examine the binary imaginations that undergird gender. The course is interdisciplinary and will use popular cultural texts, history, ethnographies, creative writing, art, and autobiography to aid our exploration.

    This interdisciplinary course will examine the development of LGBTQ social movements in the US by linking the context, goals, and outcomes of movements to the dynamics of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, immigration status, and geography. Our goal will be to understand the ways that LGBTQ social movements impact and are impacted by cultural and governmental institutions, and how these relationships have determined contemporary queer life, politics and thought. We will also examine several ongoing issues that have inspired LGBTQ organizing. We will incorporate non-academic critical sources, video clips, films, guest speakers, community events into our learning environment in order to explore the multiple facets of LGBTQ political work.
