GWSS 1042 - Engaging with Queer Cinema [AH]
(3 cr; A-F only; offered Every Spring)
Equivalent courses: GLBT 1042, ENGL 1042
What codes are at work that make a film Queer? In Queer Cinema, you will be an interpretive artist and active spectator as we analyze and consider subversive cinema from across nations and historical periods. Sometimes these films will be obviously queer or trans. However, queer and trans film is often coded or distorted, especially in response to legal or societal censorship or disapproval. As a result, Queer directors and writers sometimes speak in a liberatory way to particular oppressed/silenced groups on the level of coded content, but if the content is consumed out of context of the code, the experience of a film may be contradictory, even offensive. Consequently, we'll be looking for the queer subversions within the distortions.

This course examines the contemporary politics of health and medicine from a critical race theory, disability-oriented, and feminist/queer/trans perspective. Who is understood to be deserving of health and medical care? Who should decide how to govern the provision of care? Who, if anyone should profit from life-saving medical treatment or medicines? How did we come to have the health system we have now? How have Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and people of color communities fought for access to equitable health care in the context of the racial history of medicine and health? Struggles for justice and equity in health and medicine are integrally related to the question of how society treats people who are in need of care. Topics include the history of DIY health movements; trans health care bans; the science and history of pandemics, including Covid and HIV; the history of health insurance; struggles for global equity in vaccines and pharmaceuticals; disability; reproductive justice movements; and the history of eugenics.

GWSS 3215 - Bodies That Matter: Feminist Approaches to Disability Studies [DSJ]
(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Spring)
The COVID-19 pandemic has made questions of disability and ableism central and visible for all of us as never before. Dis/ability is not a physical or mental defect but a form of social meaning mapped to certain bodies in larger systems of power and privilege. Feminist approaches explore dis/ability as a vector of oppression intersecting and constituted through race, class, gender, sexuality, and citizenship. The course examines ideologies of ableism and the material realities of such oppression, and works toward imagining and constructing a more just and equitable society. As health care is differentially distributed or limited for people who are sickened by COVID-19, we see that systems of social and economic power determine the life chances of those who claim, or are claimed by disability. Meanwhile, people with disabilities have developed many daily life strategies that can be models for everyone coping with the pandemic.
GWSS 3218 - Politics of Reproduction
(3 cr; A-F only; offered Every Fall & Spring)
We often think of reproduction solely in terms of physiological events like pregnancy, delivery, or menstruation that occur in (or to) individual female bodies. Additionally, physicians and demographers appear to be the primary professional experts when it comes to managing and quantifying such reproductive events. In contrast, this class grapples with reproduction as a social and biological set of meanings and processes through which racial, gender, sexual, and socio-economic inequalities have been amplified, reconfigured, and contested across time and space. We trace how control over reproduction has been critical to a variety of professional, economic and political endeavors, including the rise and consolidation of disciplines like obstetrics-gynecology and demography; the maintenance of white privilege in colonial spaces and the metropole; post-World War II techno-scientific projects of "development" in the global South; and the emergence of the welfare state. The course identifies inequalities along the lines of race, class, gender, sexuality, and nationality in reproductive experiences and outcomes in a wide range of countries, including Cameroon, China, Cuba, Sudan, Soviet Russia, Romania, Zimbabwe, India, Senegal, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Nigeria, and the US. We locate individually embodied reproductive meanings and practices related to pregnancy, delivery, abortion, post-abortion care, contraception, sterilization, surrogacy, and child care in regional, national and global political economies. In other words, we investigate continuities and disruptions in reproductive politics between the individual body and the social body; the past, present and future; and local and global arenas. By exploring how reproduction operates domestically and globally as a mechanism of governance and social and economic stratification, we also consider possibilities for reproductive justice.

This course explores cultural texts produced by and about Asian American women and queers. It wrestles with the complexities of a historical moment in which Asian American women are both increasingly visible in pop culture and increasingly visible targets of violence. We will push beyond judgments of ?positive? or ?negative? representations of Asian Americans and instead explore the political dimensions of these cultural representations?that is, how they animate, reference, or repress longer histories of migration, war, labor, and empire. We will approach the categories of both ?Asian American? and ?women? less as static identities and more as shifting political coalitions that bring together diverse groups of people whose experience of gender, sexuality, race, and class deviates from the norm of white, heterosexual, and cisgender American citizenship. In tracking (and at times celebrating) these deviations, we will ask: how might film, TV, literature, art, and theory help illuminate Asian American feminist politics?

GWSS 3611 - Stories, Bodies, Movements
(3 cr; A-F only; offered Periodic Fall & Spring; may be repeated for 6 credits)
Equivalent courses: GLOS 5611, GLOS 3611
For most of us, stories seem to simply 'happen.' We listen to stories, we tell stories, we are moved by stories, and we retell stories. However, every act of telling stories involves making decisions or moves, and each re-telling of a familiar story may either give birth to new meanings, nuances, and affects, or, it may erase their possibility. Thus, each storyteller can be seen as a translator of stories with a responsibility to retell stories ethically. It is precisely through these translational acts that all politics become politics of storytelling. In this course, we will consider the ways in which the politics of the global and the intimate derive their meanings, effects, and affects from the circulation, transaction, and re-tellings of stories within and across borders. We will ask how a praxis of ethical engagement with politics can be imagined as a praxis of receiving and retelling stories. By immersing ourselves in the process of remembering, telling, listening, trimming, interweaving, distilling, and performing stories, we will consider how ethical receiving and retelling of stories involves continuous revising, repositioning, and re-theorizing of such vexed and entangled terrains and terminologies as identity, community, rights, and justice, as well as the contingent meanings of knowledge, truth, and ethics. This course engages this terrain through a mode of active learning in which all the participants will read and reflect, listen and discuss, tell and retell, watch and play, move and perform collectively. By becoming aware of the ways in which our minds-bodies-souls are inserted in the receiving and translation of stories, we will grapple together with the ways in which our bodies--as our embodiments--help to relationally shape not only our own performances but also our responses to the performances of other living and moving bodies around us. We will learn from writings, film, songs, and plays by writers, artists, activists, and thinkers from a r

GWSS 4204 - Sex, Love, & Disability
(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)
Equivalent courses: GLBT 4204
In America's cultural imagination, people with disabilities are figured either as childlike and asexual, or improperly hypersexual. For disabled people (or anyone perceived as disabled) this paradox has meant denial of sexual agency and gender expression, histories of forced sterilization and institutionalization, sociopolitical marginalization, and great risk of sexual violence (and even death). In this course, we'll examine this history to better understand our contemporary present. We'll analyze constructions of disability and sexuality as they are interwoven with gender, class, race, and citizenship. We will ask: What might it mean to desire disability? Is there a disability sexual culture? Do disabled people queer sex, or does sexuality queer disability? What is the relationship between GLBTQ and disability rights and liberation movements? Drawing from feminist, queer, and disability studies, we'll answer these questions (and more) by examining how the imagined able-bodymind structures our understanding of gender/sexuality, and how disability sexual cultures resist these norms.

GWSS 4415 - Transnational Body Politics [GP]
(3 cr; A-F only; offered Periodic Fall & Spring)
Equivalent courses: GLBT 4415
Our bodies are always already modified. How we shape our bodies can express our deepest feelings about who we are. Body modification can also represent cultural and subcultural identifications or expectations based on gender, race, class, and sexuality. But what we do with our bodies is never separate from the politics of cultural difference and fluctuating ideas of what is acceptable or unacceptable, civilized or uncivilized. These ideas are historically and culturally specific. This course looks at body modification on a transnational scale to ask how we come to know what differentiates "mutilation" from "correction." We ask how feminist, queer, and critical race theories illuminate these debates, reading across historical, anthropological, medical and literary texts. Weekly topics include gender, race and cosmetic surgery; skin whitening technologies; transnational gender reassignment; surgical tourism; female genital cutting; piercing, tattooing and scarification; the cultural politics of hair; and body modification in the context of transnational feminized labor.
