LGBT 001 - (IS) Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies

Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring
Using a breadth of works that have as their theme gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender experience and identity, largely in 20th-century America, we will examine the assumptions that underpin LGBT studies from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, being sensitive to the intersections between sexuality and race, ethnicity, class, gender and nationality. The course is organized by topics that will be contextualized chronologically and culturally, examining a wide range of LGBT depictions and their significance.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
(Formerly Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender Studies.)
