History 695A - S- Hist of Sexuality/Americas

This graduate course surveys the history of sexuality in the Americas with an emphasis on the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America in the twentieth century. In reading classic texts and recent works in the field, we will explore the various ways historians have employed sexuality as a category of analysis and how its construction has intersected with formations of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and ability. This course blurs the artificial borders of the nation-state and highlights works that employ a transnational methodology and offer comparative models.

Open to Doctoral & Masters students only.
