Bisexual, and Transgender Studies
This course examines LGBT identities from a number of disciplinary
perspectives. We will explore topics and issues of LGBT communities
through social, psychological, cultural, and political lenses. The course
will include units on family, psychology, literary autobiography, and
community, with readings from academic journals in several relevant
disciplines, selections from Finding Out: An Introduction to LGBT
Studies, by Deborah Meem, et al., and coming out narratives by several
authors. Students will be required to do frequent writing assignments
responding critically to the reading and discussions, as well as more
personal, reflective writings. We will augment the course with visiting
speakers, including on- and off-colleagues with different fields of
disciplinary expertise relating to LGBT studies; community members, and
panels representing different segments of the LGBT population; and films,
both fictional and documentary. The audience for the course may range
from students with little to no knowledge of LGBT issues to those with
substantial background in this area of study.
