Section Info: Topic: "Deviant/Queer Bodies: Migration, the Border, and Making Home." This course examines the experiences of LGBTQ/Queer/Trans* Latina/o/xs in the U.S. We will discuss political and social identities, varying gender and sexual identities and expressions grounded in the narratives and experiences of LGBTQ Latina/o/xs. We will focus on how larger social structures and institutions police and shape the experiences of LGBTQ Latina/o/xs. We will be focusing on structures and sites including: the gender binary, the border, immigration policy, family, and community to understand how they intersect with LGBTQ Latina/o/x racial, sexual, gendered, and class identities. The goal of this course is to interrogate the ways that LGBTQ Latina/o/xs resist and thrive despite the current conditions created by racism, classism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia. Furthermore, because Latina/o/xs are a heterogeneous population, we will explore how gendered and sexual experiences may be different for different groups within the LGBTQ Latina/o/x experience.
