This 1-unit class is meant to serve as an introduction to studying 20th-century queer history through discussion-based learning of queer social/political movements. Our goal is for students to learn to think critically about past events in queer history and relate them to current issues of politics and identity, as well as to gain basic informational knowledge of history.

We meet for an hour each week (6-7 PM on Tuesdays) and each week will have an approximate historical theme to be the focus of the discussion/lecture.

There are short readings most weeks (all available on bCourses), and there are about 2-3 weeks between the other assignments (see below).
Points: Attendance is required each week (the first is free, and for others, exceptions can be made 24 hours in advance), and there are 2 short essays (1 page) + 1 long essay (2 pages)+ a final quiz.

First come, first served. Enrollment numbers: 20351 (freshmen/sophomores) and 20366 (juniors/seniors)
