Meets with AAS 390 and GWS 390. This course examines how musical cultures shape the ways in which we imagine relations of race, gender, sexuality and nation. By exploring the dynamic processes of musical production, consumption, and exchange within and through both translocal and transnational frameworks, we will develop a critical analysis of the politics of musical and cultural practice. Through interactive activities and assignments, students will engage musical sources and genres ranging from opera, musical theater, jazz, blues, soul, hip hop, and country to punk, queercore, Mexican corridos, Cuban rumba and son, Afroperuvian festejo and lando, and South East Asian psychedelia.

Meets with GWS 390 and AAS 390. This course outlines the terms, intellectual genealogies, methodologies and theoretical interventions of the academic and political formation of transnational feminist cultural studies. Emerging as a response to the shortcomings of overarching, masculinist economic theorizations of globalization as well as Western versions of "global feminism," transnational feminist cultural studies is an interdisciplinary critical field that draws from the vocabularies of postcolonial studies, postructuralism, Third World feminisms, race and ethnic studies feminism in self-reflexive and context-specific ways. As such, this course examines those recent reconceptualizations of relations between woman and nation; gender and globalization; feminist theory and practice. In particular, this course examines transnational feminist scholarship on activism and advocacy, including NGOs and development projects, militarism and migration.
