Summer 2025 Topics:

Section 013 Literature of Queer Liberation 

Focusing primarily on the period between the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and the AIDS epidemic of the 1990s, we will examine the place of literature within the Queer liberation movement as a tool for effecting change. Students will investigate the affordances of different literary forms and how liberation is connected to the generic conventions of novels, poetry, and manifestos, or, often, the breaking of those conventions. By highlighting some of the most important authors and critical texts of this time, this course is designed to acquaint students with works that are ignored and erased from standard literature courses
