Trans Studies in the Américas
Course Description
This interdisciplinary course introduces students to trans studies via Latin American and Latinx Studies. Through cultural and literary texts, performance art, visual culture, and activisms that highlight the imbrications of race, class, sex, gender, and nation, we examine travesti and trans of color critique; travesti activism and sexual politics; trans archival formations; and sex work as knowledge, history, and world-making practices.
