GRM 295-02 - Special Topic: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Modern Germany

4 credits (Spring)

Cross-listed as: HIS 295-02. This seminar explores the relationship between race, gender, and sexuality in modern German history. From this perspective, we will explore anti-Semitism; same-sex sexuality; colonialism; as well as war genocide. We will also pay attention to significance of intimacy and difference in the histories of Germany’s postwar reconstruction as we consider narratives that destabilize Germany’s racialized and gendered national identify until this day.

Prerequisite: HIS 100 or second-year standing.
Instructor: Samper Vendrell
