Course Catalog Description:
Transgender studies transforms ideas about gender, sexuality, identity, and biology. We look at knowledge is made about transgender life across disciplines and media: film, fiction, and the internet, as well as medicine, history, anthropology, and gender studies. Also asks how transgender social practices and community politics are embedded in dynamics of race, class, sexuality, nationality and ability.
Class Description:
This course maps transgender as an emerging object of study in the 21st century. The questions we ask in this course include the following: What do the terms "trans" and "nonbinary" mean, and in their multiple meanings, how do they open up space to imagine new possibilities of becoming? How does "trans" illuminate the institutional constraints on subjectivity on everyone's gender, and how does it relate to feminist and queer understandings of gender and power? How are transgender and transsexuality emerging as new identities with claims to medical care, rights, and recognition globally in the twenty-first century? How do race, class, carcerality, and state power affect trans and gender nonconforming people's lives and survival?
