GSW 201 - Global Queerness

Course Units: 1

The question of global LGBTQ+ rights has increasingly become a point of conversation in the 21st century. Some countries argue LGBTQ+ rights violate their cultural norms, whereas others argue the human rights of LGBTQ+ persons should be a universal concern. This course will explore how issues of gender identity and sexual orientation continue to divide and unite the world by understanding cultural norms and practices, globalization, identity politics, religion, human rights, gender ideology, and the role of technology in shaping many of today’s global queer communities and movements. Prerequisite(s): Take GSW-100 - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
