SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

This course will surface the ways in which LGBTQ+ people and communities have impacted the ways in which mainstream American culture has been shaped by cultural production derived from thinking that challenges heteronormativity in post-World War II America until the validation of same sex marriage in 2014 Through the lenses of queer theory, evolving queer history, Since the emergence of “homosexuality” and “transsexuality” as identities in the late 19th century, queer culture has been presumed to develop in the margins of American life, ancillary to and shaped by heterosexual norms. Yet, the vast majority of queer people in the last hundred years have lived (to at least some degree) in the closet, allowing them to exist in the mainstream while maintaining a distinctly non-normative identity. Thus, to quote bell hooks, allowing them "to bring the margin into the center." In 15 meetings over the course of the semester, through lectures, discussions, texts, slides, films and video, we will explore the ways in which transformative integration of queer designs for living have occurred. Highlighting pivotal events and shifts in American cultural, political, and creative history this course will provide food for thought about the ways in queerness is integral to American notions of progress and freedom.

Sam U. March 24, 2024 "Medical Documents Detailing Adult Transgender Care"

This entire medical article provides great detail and data on the transgender community and on how several medical institutes go about providing them with the proper health resources to aid them in their journey. They discuss various stages in which a trans individual can be labeled as depending on their transition status. This could include social changes, hormonal therapy, and/or surgical procedures. They also discuss how a urologist is an essential medical figure to help guide trans individuals along their transition and could help set them up with other medical professionals depending on the path they choose to go on next.

I would like to read more and go over the data they discuss in this document to include in my online exhibition.
