Centering 2SLGBTQ+ cultural and political contributions, this course examines the ways in which sexualities, bodies, relationships, and identities have been regulated and transformed. Students will analyze how ideas about gender and sexuality structure the contemporary social context, make historical connections, and apply core concepts from queer and trans studies.

This course is interesting, important, and unique. I recommend it to other students because there are no other courses like it at UW. It will really enrich your perspective on queer and trans* studies, and queerness and transness* more broadly. If you are interested in social justice, this course is a must take.
