Course Catalog Description:
LGBTQIA life in the US has changed significantly over the past few decades. By examining a selection of poetry, prose, and film, our class will try to answer the questions: "How did we get to where we are today?" and "Where do we go next?" We will look at classic works in their historical contexts to see what was revolutionary about their publication; we will trace how they paved the way for all that followed. We will look at very new works to understand the concerns of twenty-first century LGBTQIA writers and readers. From the "lavender scare" to the Stonewall Riots to the AIDS pandemic to marriage equality to genderqueer and trans movements, we will explore how LGBTQIA authors and filmmakers have both responded to and shaped the ethos of our times.
