COMM 22800 - Communication & Queer Studies

Course Credit: 1
Communication and Queer Studies The class draws on work in communication studies and film, sociology, history, media studies, gender studies, politics, performance studies and literary studies to examine queer discourse. With its point of departure in feminist critiques of sexuality as well as gay and lesbian studies, queer studies has expanded the interrogation of identity to focus on many other salient categories, such as race, class, religion, and nationality. This course frames the introduction to communication and queer studies, emphasizing the intersectionality of race and class, that problematizes, while still familiarizes students with, texts in queer theory/studies as they intersect with communication studies.
