ENGL 743 - Queer Theory

Three hours.
3 Credits

This course engages concepts of Queer Theory and the central architects of this relatively new field—from Sigmund Freud and Michel Foucault to Barbara Smith, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Judith Butler and others. Students become familiar with key concepts through both core texts and critical interpretations, as well as how Queer Theory has emerged as an inter-disciplinary research perspective.
