WGS 229L - Latinx Sexualities

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded (included P/F option)
Not repeatable for credit

Description:
This interdisciplinary course combines Latinx/o/a Studies and Sexuality Studies with a feminist lens to examine how sexuality both shapes and is shaped by immigration, race, class, gender, gentrification, language, religion, culture, and kinship. In the tradition of critical ethnic studies, the course examines sexuality by centering Latinx knowledges, histories, cultural production, and everyday lives. Although the primary focus is on Latinx sexualities in the United States, our analysis will be grounded in a transnational and diasporic context. Topics may include queer latinidad, sexual health, family formations, sex work, media representation, social movements, and visual and performing arts.
