Description
This course examines the social, political, and cultural intersections of blackness and queerness. Taking a historical approach that examines the major periods of African American life and culture, the course will rethink the history of black life and black studies by centering queerness. Multi-methodological and interdisciplinary, we will examine short stories, film, poetry, as well as secondary literature from the literary studies, history, legal studies, film studies, and political science.
