The course, which the Department of Women and Gender Studies is offering, will be divided into three parts. The first part deals with the origin of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender studies and the word "queer." The second focuses on the incorporation of queer and gender studies into academia. The final part discusses the intersection of queer theory and other areas of study like Southern studies and health studies.
