Its approach is historical, tracing the origins of today's heated debates and important questions around sexuality and gender identity. Our other historical project will be a search for a "usable past"--that is, knowledge that will help us navigate our current difficult times. Readings will probably include Jack Halberstam. Dean Spade, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Judith Butler, Sandy Stone, Audre Lorde, Susan Stryker, C. Riley Snorton, Jules Gill-Peterson, Michel Foucault, Barbara Smith, Eli Clare, Gloria Anzaldúa, and more.
