Description
In WGS 301: Queer Theory we explore queer history and the oppressive, violent conditions LGBTQ+ folx have fought back against in various ways–from Black and Brown queer and trans people rebelling against police violence at Compton’s Cafeteria in San Francisco or at Stonewall Inn in New York City, or Josie Carter and other patrons rallying against homophobic sailors at Milwaukee’s Black Nite, to ACT UP activists addressing a genocidal government during the height of the AIDS epidemic. We are also concerned with historical and contemporary ways LGBTQ+ and other marginalized folx are discriminated against through administrative violence: for examples, through the lack of government protections, resources, or with increasing surveillance through identification requirements.
