Section Title:
Policing Latinx (Im)migrant Co
Section Info:
This course will be using platform: Moodle Topic: Policing Latinx (Im)migrant Communities With current mobilization to abolish police and ICE, this course will provide students with the context of how contemporary policies emerged out of key historical episodes that have shaped and justified policing. We will begin with the formation of the US-Mexico border, turn to urban policing, and end with the rise of crimmigration. While the focus is on Latinx communities the course will take a relational race approach to attend to the ways policing Latinx communities has developed in tandem with other ethnic communities. The course also will center the ways gender and sexuality have been central sites of ethnic management. Interdisciplinary course materials from fields such as legal studies, cultural studies, and ethnography, will provide students opportunities to examine the range of actors and institutions involved in policing beyond the police and familiarize students with activists' strategies to combat policing and develop community-based alternatives.

Early Modern Trans Studies
Section Info:
Platform for this section will be "Canvas" Topic: Early Modern Trans Studies: Topic:Early Modern Trans Studies - This course introduces students to an archive of early modern texts that engage gender nonconformism, proto-transgender identities, transformation, and imagined genders. We will pair early modern drama, poetry, court cases, political tracts, and other texts with readings from contemporary transgender and queer theorists. Topics will include: colonial gender imperatives, medicalization, gender euphoria, rogue sexualities, and self-fashioning. Together, we will theorize the connections and potential that the long history of trans bodies might have for contemporary trans social issues and activisms. Meets w/ENGL 325 (CRN 59287)
