    Description
    Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Literature offers students the opportunity to foster a deeper understanding of and appreciation for literature that represents the worldviews and experiences of individuals and communities who have been marginalized throughout history on the basis of their non-normative sexualities and gender identities. LGBTQ+ Literature surveys the imaginative writing that considers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer themes. By studying texts that represent a span of human history and multicultural contexts, students will gain insight into the ways in which constructions of gender and sexuality have developed over time and understand the ways in which various cultural attitudes toward LGBTQ+ people have impacted the production and reception of literature dealing with LGBTQ+ individuals and communities.
