Job description

Date Posted: 03/05/2025
Req ID: 41984
Faculty/Division: Faculty of Arts & Science
Department: Sexual Diversity Studies
Campus: St. George (Downtown Toronto)Description:This course centers the Global South to think about alternative histories, theories, and formations of sexuality. It focuses on global south queer studies, postcolonial sexuality studies, and Third World feminisms, to think about what queerness means across different geopolitical sites at the intersections of race, ethnicity, caste, class, and religion. Through an interdisciplinary approach, we explore legal, cultural, economic, and political dimensions of sexuality as identification, lived experience, and a form of power. What might the history of indentureship tell us about the history of sexuality, diaspora, and empire? What are the sexual politics of postcolonial nationalism and citizenship? What role has the sacred played in the understanding of sexuality? The course seeks to 1) to challenge and unsettle Euro-American paradigms of sex, gender and sexuality, 2) to think through how sexuality is constructed and regulated at the intersections of postcolonial capital, new forms of empire, and transnational capital, and global flows of migration, and (3) to consider how hegemonic notions of gender, sex, and sexuality are resisted and transformed in the Global South.Pre-requisite: 0.5 credit in Sexual Diversity StudiesEstimated Course Enrollment: 30Estimated TA support: 0Class Schedule: Monday and Wednesday, 11:00 am-1:00pm
