WS 207 DJQ - Introduction to LGBTQ+ Studies

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

In Introduction to LGBTQ+ Studies, we start from the position that taken-for-granted systems of categorization like gender and sexuality are in fact socially developed, enforced, and reproduced such that members of societies see them as “natural.” Although these systems may be described as “social constructs,” they are quite real to the people who are categorized by them. We will rely upon sociological frameworks to better understand intragroup interactions within the broader LGBTQ+ community. Cross-listed SOC 207 DJQ
