ENGL 2755 - LGBTQ Writers

3 Credits

This college literature course, intended for all students, will study works written by members of the GLBTQ community and explore their experiences. We will analyze course readings with a special focus on the distinct concerns, perspectives, and challenges of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and queer writers. We will view the works both historically, with an emphasis on the issues and challenges of LGBTQ writers within their own time frames, and from a contemporary perspective. The class will also explore the literature of writers or various races and ethnicities within the family of LGBTQ writers. 3C/3/0/0
