Queer Visions: Transcending Borders through Film and Visual Culture

This course will explore film and visual arts made by and about people who identify as women, trans and/or queer in dialogue with feminist and queer of color critique. Our course will center a transnational, intersectional and comparative perspective that will allow us to think about multiple social movements, styles and aesthetics while centering the lives of people who have experienced the cost of homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny often while fighting against other forms of colonized oppression such as racism and poverty.
