Annotation
This course is an advanced discussion colloquium for students of second year of the graduate program in gender studies. The course assumes knowledge of feminist theories and academic scholarship on gender, constructions of sexuality and theorie of identities and collective rights. During the course, we will be particularly interested in the ways in which queer perspective intersects with institutionalized structures of power, starting with medical discourse and interventions into sexuality, through education to professional settings of work and politics. All classes will be based in extensive discussion of assigned readings and documentaries. Emphasis in the course is placed on critical approach to selected concepts and argumentative abilities when articulating and defending selected theoretical and discursive positions.
All materials and assignments are available in MST.
