WGST 320 - Queer Studies in Popular Culture
Utilizing an interdisciplinary queer feminist approach, this course interrogates social relations of power embedded within Western popular culture. We will examine a range of cultural texts from television and film, to artistic representations and performances, to social media posts and podcasts. The course will provide an intersectional theoretical framing to queer studies in popular culture. Central to the course are constructions of identity and processes of subjectivity and embodiment; popular culture is all around us and informs our everyday lives. *Prerequisite: WGST 100 and permission of the Department Head.* Note: Students may receive credit for one of WGST 320 or WGST 380AM.
