Description
(Same as WGSS 4770.) This course thinks about the kinds of conceptual toolquestions, methods, theories, histories, geographies, time periods, and social/cultural movements needed in order to understand the dynamic and shifting terrain of gender and sexuality in the African Diaspora. Colonialism, slavery, social movements as well as transnational circuits of music, self-expression, desire and consumption/production will frame our approach to theorizing gender and sexuality in the actual and imagined spaces of the African Diaspora.
