Through classic and cutting-edge work in geography, literature, sociology, anthropology, history, and political economy, we will examine sites from bars and community centers to neighborhoods and cruising grounds, from cities and rural Walmarts to websites and social media, and even the nation itself. Students will become knowledgeable about the projects of queer theory and identity, and use these approaches to grapple with and challenge the seemingly normal histories and spaces of American society. In other words, how do lgbtq spaces, histories, and cultures afford a different reading of America is and could be? Students will draw upon primary and secondary sources to draft an original research paper on a topic they develop over the course of the semester.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REQUIRED TEXTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bechdel, Alison. 2007. <em>Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic<\/em>.
