Abstract

Queer as political concept course aims to familiarize students with the core texts and critical debates that have shaped queer theory. This course presumes a background in sexuality, gender, and feminist theory. We will trace the expansion of the term “queer” from its early contestation with LGBT identities and politics to its current use as a broad framework that designates non-normative modes of knowledge, cultural practices, and political activism. Central to our investigation are the intersections between queer theory and political science. Weaving analyses of foundational queer texts, we will explore an expansive and radical contemporary queer politics, pushing beyond narrow constructions of identity politics, anti-discrimination policy, and rights-based reforms. This class will ultimately engage Queer Theory through a fruitful philosophical and political interrogation of the meaning and content of queer.
