WS 245 Introduction to LGBTQ Studies
This course introduces students to the study of sexualities from the perspective of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer scholarship across various academic disciplines. Throughout the course we consider the relation between erotic desire and sexual politics, as well as the interplay between sexuality and differences of ethnicity, culture, race, class, and gender. We are looking for a GSI who has college teaching experience and background in lesbian and gay and/or feminist scholarship. The GSI teaches 2 two-hour sections with 25 students each and is responsible for grading.
