This course explores the basis of LGBTQ Studies. We’ll look at LGBTQ history, activism, psychology, biology and literature.

This course is a deep dive into AIDS activism in the 1980s and 1990s and its relevance to the current Coronavirus pandemic. We’ll ask ourselves: How can the queer knowledge, experience and activism from that era inform our thoughts and actions with regard to COVID-19? What relevant lessons can we draw from our queer American history?

So, what the heck is “queer theory,” anyway? This course defines and explores queer theory, and illustrates its continued relevance in our culture and in our academic lives. Queer theory is a theory that draws from feminist thought, critica race theory, and postmodern theory as it challenges gender and sexual norms. If you’ve ever wondered why boys can’t wear pink or why assertive girls are called “bossy” -- you’ve engaged in the work of queer theory! Queer theory asks: who benefits from gender norms, and how can we effectively challenge those norms?

As a course, LGBTQ Research Methods is broad in scope. It explores “LGBTQ research methods” and asks what might happen if we “queer” -- or, challenge the norms of --  traditional methods. What happens if we seek to challenge the traditional roles, hierarchies and authorities assumed to be embedded in research? The course also looks at oral history as a research method, and affords students an opportunity to be researchers by recording oral history interviews themselves.
