GSS 322 - Black Queer South

Whether it’s Black Gay Pride Atlanta or DC, or activists like black trans femme organizer Micky Bradford, the Black Queer South has always had something to say about race, gender, class, and sexual struggle and liberation. However, southern black queer (or LGBT) culture is frequently overlooked, understudied, and/or misrepresented. Thus, this course will employ the geographical place and conceptual space of “the South” as an entry point for exploring black queer possibilities from “the bottom.” [This course will meet the major’s Sexuality Studies Requirement and will be in the Society & Politics track.]
