Queer Studies: An Introduction

Course description

Many people express their sexualities, relationships, and gender outside of mainstream societal norms. In this course, students use queer theories as frameworks to understand social issues, and to identify historical and cultural distinctions between sex, sexuality, and gender identity. Students uncover the impact of prejudice, discrimination, and intersectionality, and they explore individual and collective contributions of the queer community to the wider society.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
