GRM 274 - Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Modern Germany

4 credits (Fall or Spring)

Cross-listed as: GWS 274. This seminar explores the relationship between race, gender, and sexuality in modern German history. This course is not comprehensive either chronologically or topically. Instead it addresses some key issues, methodologies, and historiographical debates and it provides a toolbox for doing critical German and Gender Studies. We discuss historical documents, literature, and film to destabilize Germany’s racialized and gendered national identify until this day.

Prerequisite: Second-year standing.
Note: Plus-2 option available. Not offered every year. Foreign language option available for course and +2 option.
Instructor: Samper Vendrell
