4 credits
This course serves as an introduction to transgender studies by exploring trans histories as well as social movements and activism for trans futures. This course begins with significant historical figures and events in trans history, addressing the emergence of the category of transgender and using an intersectional perspective to explore these histories in relation to both gender binary and nonbinary experiences. We will then explore social movements to improve trans lives through the work of activists and scholars imagining new trans futures. Completion of GSWS 201 recommended.
