Class Details

This course explores the shifting, contested, and intersecting meanings of race, gender, and sexuality in the United States. We will begin with three units designed to introduce the theoretical and methodological literature (one each on gender, sexuality, and race), and then devote the rest of our sessions to analyzing a series of specific historical topics examining the ways that race, sexuality, and gender have been imagined, policed, legislated, experienced, and performed in modern U.S. History. Topics to be explored include the development of and challenges to categories of race, sex, and gender; laws and cultural norms regarding sex and relationships; racial and sexual violence and organized resistance; and historical debates about family, immigration, work, and reproduction.
