This course will offer an introduction to some of the key debates and questions in the study of lesbian, gay, trans, and queer sexualities. We will approach the field of queer studies by viewing a handful of iconic queer films of the past few decades: Isaac Julien's Looking For Langston; Dee Rees' Pariah; Jennie Livingston's Paris is Burning; and Wong Kar-Wai's Happy Together. These films will allow us an opportunity to engage a range of issues addressed in the various critical essays we will read by queer studies scholars and activists including the history of sexuality; family, kinship, and marriage; representation and performance; queer subcultures; and migration and globalization. Throughout our study, we will consider how gender and sexuality intersect with formations  of race, class, citizenship, and culture. Click here for more info!

Through film, media, popular culture, and interactive projects, we will examine the ways militarism has become a force in shaping our daily lives. Engaging contexts from the Cold War to the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border and the current post-9/11 moment, we will assess the narratives that assert US hegemony and examine the way affected communities transform and are transformed by their engagements with militarism.
