SOWK14012 The Queer Globe

Course details

Students should be able to analyse Western ideas about the body and sexual attraction enabling them to critique the theories of sexuality that constructed the psyches and societies of the West during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The student should be able to critique the colonisation of cultures into hierarchies of sexualities; understand the personal and societal repercussions of cohesion and violence within and beyond the politics of sexual identities; and apply this knowledge to their own relationships with contemporary Queer societies. Students will learn about the world-views of Queer theorists as adjuncts or alternatives to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and inter-sex ideology, theory, politics, and social action.
