| Covering a range of historical and contemporary queer, two-spirit, and transgender authors, this course queers the field of English literature by exploring texts across multiple genres through the lens of queer theory. As part of challenging the heteronormativity of the English literary canon and its reception, we will include canonical authors who are seldom read as part of a broader queer history. Topics may include HIV/AIDS, racialization and gender, transgender, body modification, mental health, drag, the closet, shame, pride, rights, and families. |
