Examines the interplay between feminisms, queer theory and cultural production, focusing on how power manifests in ways that contribute to and constrain communication around gender and sexuality. Students will read historical and theoretical texts from feminist and queer scholars and assess how these texts enable them to communicate about sex and genders as social, cultural, political and economic constructions.
