Title: Queer History in the U.S.
Course Section Number: HIS-340-01
Department: History
Description: Queer History in the U.S. will explore how queerness and queer people have shaped the trajectory of political, social, cultural, and economic life in the United States of America. In this course, we will ask questions such as, what is queer?, who is queer?, who defines queerness?, how is queerness policed?, and how did queer people navigate cis-heteronormativity? Students will explore these questions through primary sources such as literature, press coverage, manifestoes, and film as well as classic and ground-breaking secondary sources. Classes will consist of discussion, research, and writing.
