Description
HED 439 Queer Studies Three Credit Hours
In this course, students will explore the field of queer studies- its relationship to both the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and to understanding of broader culture and society. Particular attention will be given to the relationships between discrimination and oppression, and health and wellness. Health disparities in the LGBT population will also be explored. Issues will be explored using interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate the intersecting questions of race, class, gender, and nationality alongside sexuality and gender identity. We will cultivate analytical tools developed out of feminist and LGBT political movements. Prerequisite: ENG 131.
