Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
This course offers an introduction to queer theory, an interdisciplinary academic field that explores the issues of gender, sexuality and identity. The term “queer” has complicated histories, yet it has been conceptualised to challenge the way in which social and political norms constitute how we experience our bodies. In other words, “queer” helps us critically look into how binary oppositions (male/female, public/private, heterosexual/homosexual, cisgender/transgender, etc.) shape our lived reality. We will focus on the historical development of queer theory, drawing on key issues and concepts such as heteronormativity, performativity, AIDS activism and homonationalism. The latter half of this course will engage with contemporary debates and questions regarding the changing landscape of gender, sexuality and the body. Throughout the course, students will be asked to examine the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, ethnicity and disability in multiple ways.
Each session consists of a 60-min lecture followed by group discussions and a pop quiz (10 min).
