This is not the current course catalog

Class Details

This Winter Study course explores frameworks of race, gender, sexuality, and other intersecting categories of representation in U.S. horror, specifically as they have developed from the 19th through the 21st centuries. We examine short stories, novels, and films, applying theoretical frameworks and methodologies to analyze a genre often dismissed as “entertainment,” but which scholars have long identified as reflecting, and often challenging, the cultural constructs and anxieties of the time.
