Course Catalog Description
Advanced seminar in Asian American Studies with topics to be announced at the beginning of each semester.
Class Description
This course engages modern political thought in the Arab/Muslim world through a feminist, queer and trans* perspective. The course provides an overview of key themes in feminist/Queer/Trans* organizing in the region commonly known as the “middle-east” and its diasporas through the works of political thinkers, artists, novelists and activists. We will examine the impact of the notion of “modernity” and the “state” on the production of gender and sexualized bodies. We will also examine the idea of “revolution” through the many revolutionary uprisings that have shaped the region in the contemporary moment.
