Course details

Name: ENGL - 227

Title: QUEER FICTION

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2021

Credits: 3

Description:
In this course we will study queer fiction as a genre through reading novels and short stories that use queerness as a concept that interrogates normative constructions of sexuality, gender, race, ability, and class. We will also study queer fiction as a utopian process for imagining (and perhaps creating) worlds that can positively transform the social fabric. This course is a good choice for students who are interested in reading literature that centers experiences and perspectives of groups that resist societal norms.
